What has been your experience with github copilot?

Sometimes I love it. Sometimes it's just ok. And other times it is infuriating.

When I have to write a bunch of very repetitive code, like golden path tests or something, then it's great. It's pretty good at predicting, and I'm getting good at writing my code in such a way that it can predict well. ๐Ÿ‘

When I'm solving a new problem, it's helpful like 25% of the time. It can usually predict the easy stuff pretty well. But most of the time it's just wrong ๐Ÿ˜‘

When I'm fixing existing code, it's so annoying. I'll go to add one line of code, and it predicts that I want to add like 10 lines of code, and then it pushed down the code that I'm readying below where my cursor is. So then I lose the context that I need to write the code I'm writing. ๐Ÿคจ

What are you guys finding?
