  I’m a software developer for a small company with the two owners being the engineers and they have a Copilot subscription. It saves you countless man hours.

  Looking up documentation is very rare now as it’s consumed that much data. It’s not perfect but it’s not we are vibe coding either it’s more like intellisense n steroids. We have lots of practices for how we do things and it learns from that context.

  I wouldn’t pay for it for personal use but business use it’s actually great for us.

    I’m a senior full stack software dev for over 20 years and I still search and use stack overflow links the same way as always. fuck your copilot licenses. they are not necessary and any productivity gains they bring are more than negated by the social and environmental impact from data centers and AI job losses.
