Results from using #Github #Copilot so far: Coding - modest improvement in the areas where Copilot is useful (boilerplate, low-level implementation, things I would have used SO for) - perhaps 25% decrease in time spent.
Writing (yes, it has started suggesting in my asciidoc files as well): Zero increase in speed, but an increase in quality - as I look at what it's proposing and think: "Good Lord, I can do better than *that*". 1/
