    Copilot keeps finishing my code for me in near real time… it completely disrupts my train of thought and my productivity dropped tremendously. I finally disabled it.

    I LIKE writing code, stop trying to take the stuff away that I WANT to do and instead take away the stuff I HATE doing.

      What I don’t want AI to do:

      • write code for me
      • write fixes for me

      What I want it to do:

      • find bugs and tell me about them (but still don’t fix them)

      Yeah, I just wrote a blog post comment about how I enjoy using Copilot. But that’s when I explicitly ask it a question or give it a task. The auto complete is wrong more often than it’s right.

      Probably doesn’t help that if it was tedious, boilerplate code I would have already explicitly asked it.
