That's how I thought it was supposed to be used. It's "copilot" not "autopilot". I don't need nor want it to write whole functions for me.
Company ran a trial for it, and it worked really well for generating boilerplate code following our existing system design. Sometimes it makes mistakes, but during the trial it was a rare occurence
The company is giving it to us all for free next year, hope it doesn't negatively affect hiring though...
Should be fine. No way they'll assume that the new technology is magic and over promise, under budget, and then start a company death spiral, before cashing out their stock options and doing the same somewhere else. I'm sure glad we don't see that all the time in tech. /s
