Overall Satisfaction with GitHub Copilot

I use GitHub Copilot daily. It became a great time saver from the first day I started using it, and it has only gotten better since.
It helps me write the boring boilerplate code, giving great suggestions for what to write next, and it gives me ideas on where to go from my current location and onwards.

Pros

  • Code completion
  • Adding fields to forms
  • Suggestions on implementations
  • Writing the basic tests

Cons

  • It takes a while to trigger, and if you've already moved on when it does, your suggestion just flashes on the screen and then disappears again.
  • Multilingual data
  • It often keeps repeating itself even though you've deviated from its suggestion.
  • The "question-answer" functionality sometimes overwrites existing code with // code... comments.
  • Our ROI of the purchase of Copilot was met in less than a day. The timesave cannot be overstated
  • Programmer boredom/dissatisfaction is down because of less repetetive crud work.
It's almost always a hit, but when it isn't, it can be a little bit annoying as it keeps giving the same suggestion over and over again.
