Have you tried out Github Copilot yet? I find it super interesting. It turns writing code into more of a write some comments, let it write the code, review the code, realize what I actually need it to do, revise the comments, then tighten up the generated code.

Most surprisingly I can quickly tackle domains that require libraries I don't know because a combination of code generation and IDE hinting means I can write comments and pseudo code and the tool then provides at least a first pass best method to use.

Can't say if I write better code with Copilot but it's worth experiencing!



I've been playing with Copilot as well.

It's very good at handling boilerplate and making contextual suggestions.

I don't see it eating my cake, but it's definitely a very useful tool for saving time.
