  • I think it’s pretty heavily dependent on what you’re trying to do. I’ve gotten a lot of push from higher ups at my company to use copilot wherever possible. So, I’ve spent a lot of time lately having copilot + opus write code for me. Most of what I’m doing is super straightforward middleware APIs or basic internal front ends. Since it has access to very similar codebases for reference, and we have custom agents that point it in the right direction, it’s a pretty good experience.

    However, if I ask it to do something totally new, it does okay, more like what you’ve experienced. It takes a lot of hand holding, but it usually gets the job done as long as you’re very descriptive in your prompt. Probably not faster than an experienced developer at the moment though
