Copilot to me is a multiplier, just like compilers and GUI editors and languages above machine language.
And possibly the biggest multiplier. But anything times zero is zero. Someone who does not understand the code Copilot writes is too dangerous to do anything.
But I worry what Copilot will do to future developers.
And knowing what universally available spell checking has done to me, destroyed my ability to spell correctly without it, I even worry how Copilot might deskill me over the coming years.
