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 was thinking that one effect copilot-like tools will have in projects is more comments describing the code. Because copilot can both help with the code if you document it well as it can document code well with descriptions and their parameters.

      Hope one of the functionalities we get from this is a comment linter, making sure code and comments are in sync.

      If we don’t codebases will be filled to the brim with confusing and incorrect comments. Probably would be better to strip and re-generate them.
