Copilot has so far been pretty useful to me as a "sometimes smarter intellisense". It'll frequently correctly guess the arguments I want for a function (and their types), and every once in a while I'll type `a.map(` and it'll auto-fill the transformation code I was planning on writing.
The simpler the task I'm trying to do, the better chance it has of being correct, but that's also the part where I feel I get the most benefit from it, because I already thoroughly understand exactly what I'm writing, why I'm writing it, and what it needs to look like, and Copilot sometimes saves me the 5-30s it takes to write it. Over a day, that adds up and I can move marginally faster.
It's definitely not a 100x improvement (or even a 10x improvement), but I'm glad to have it.
If this works as well, locally, to escape the privacy issue, I'll be thrilled. Checking it out.
