Yes, that's what I meant. I wasn't sure if you meant classic tab-based autocomplete or Copilot tool-based agent Copilot.

Letting it burn tokens on running tests and refactors (but not letting it merge branches or deploy) is the thing that feels like a huge leap forward to me. We are talking about the same set of capabilities.

Ah, definitely agent-based copilot. I don't even have the autocomplete stuff turned on anymore, because I found it annoying.
