I've finally started using Copilot, as of ~2 weeks ago. I knew it was going to be good, but I didn't know it was going to be *this* good. As an example, in this code it wrote all the comments. There's been a few times I've been blow away, asking "how can it possibly know that?"

I just started last week and I'm also very impressed. I think it probably saves me about 40% of my time and about 70% of my grunt work, which means I'm nearly twice as productive and substantially happier.

Why have it write comments? Why not have the comments be evaluated at read time?

"And it was at that point, they realised they had severely underestimated the other programmers in the world, those that Copilot had learn the comments from..." I hope it's also a great collaboration tool in the future! :)

Copilot just autocompletes stuff, so not really. I guess I could ask chatGPT to "translate it". But backing up a bit, I don't get why functional code is useful! imperative = easy to read, easy to write, what more can you ask for?
