I’ve found it to have extremely limited value, but not zero. It’s been useful as a shortcut for things I can already do myself. For instance, I can easily get syntax for a param block, or build a window form. Could I do it myself? Absolutely, and pretty easily. And I can recognize when it’s right vs wrong. But it’s marginally faster to have copilot do it instead of digging up the documentation.

It’s more like a party trick than a trillion dollar revolution. The $20/month for a full time dev is probably around the break even point for the labor savings. It’s not going to save THAT much time.
