Great. If an undergrad can find and rewrite those 10% of lines that are wrong, this is exactly what I care about to be an effective programmer. Especially since a good chunk of programming is reading code by former programmer (including self()) and interpreting and debugging. If they can use copilot with confidence to be more productive in getting to that point even more bonus points if I were a manager.

tbf I dropped out of a CE degree (and college) because I couldn't pass discrete math so I might not be the best logic programmer... I doubt I could pass leetcode interviews, I mostly work on the fringes of software dev.

I have never taken a job where I had to do a leetcode interview. My best job experience was one where I had no technical interview at all.
