A developer easily costs $100 an hour. This means that if Copilot saves you more than 360 seconds in a month it’s paid for itself.

I’m honestly flabbergasted that anybody would think it isn’t worth $10 a month, despite its many serious flaws.

That calculation works if it doesn't also cost you any time - which by all accounts it does, e.g. in review.
