I trialed GitHub Copilot and used ChatGPT for a bit, but recently I found myself using them less and less.

I’ve found them valuable when doing something new(at least to me), but for most of my day-to-day it seems to have lost it’s luster.

    I just came back to copilot, haven’t used it since the preview ended.

    Keeps being pretty good at writing boilerplate, and not that good at much else.

    For example when I’m writing a struct like “User” it more or less fills the fields I’m going to need, guesses the types and tags.

    In new projects is also pretty good at suggesting things I might want to do. Maybe it gets the implementation wrong, but many times affect what I start working on next.

    For the legacy Java code bases I maintain at work is completely useless. Maybe Copilot X can do something to help with that, we’ll see.
