    I hear that. I don’t judge anyone using copilot to cover the gap between perfect and good enough. I use it that way, as well.

    A coder passionately loving Copilot strikes me as a bit like a sailor passionately loving life boats.

    It’s perfectly rational, and… it implies that they routinely deal with some shit that probably, ideally, ought to get fixed.

    I’m projecting my own experience a lot here. When I’m working with code I’m really happy with, I find copilot getting in my way more than helping. When I’m working with code that’s newer and messier, I find copilot pretty handy.
