For a verbose language the problem isn't the typing it's the reading. On the typing side I agree with you: I don't mind spending 30 minutes typing a bunch of boilerplate. I do mind digging through 100s of lines of code to find the 2 lines that actually do something interesting.

Of course, copilot is only going to save you typing time, and you'll have to pay it back at reading time.



I spend 95% of my day reading existing code not writing it, I have no idea what these developers writing code all day work on
