Increasingly feels like doing pair programming when you're not in control of the mouse & keyboard (even if you literally are here). I catch bugs and other issues before running the code a lot and sometimes have differing takes about architecture, but it's so good at understanding what I want.

fr!! I love copilot, it’s like a stupid little gremlin who does all the boring typing for me and I can focus on the bigger picture

Yeah, exactly, it's made coding so much less grindy. I'm sure AI will eventually become incredible at everything, but it's kind of nice that it puts more emphasis for now on understanding what makes code good as a skill than ability to churn out lots of code.

Probably will make junior dev jobs fewer and further between, though. At one of my first jobs, I was promoted from junior to mid-level dev only a couple of months in, and it was just because I was grinding away so much at a bunch of tickets that Copilot could've knocked out of the park in seconds.
