I ended up getting annoyed with the autocomplete feature taking over things such as snippet expansion in vscode, so I turned it off personally. I felt that the battling against the assistant made around a break even productivity gain overall. Except for regular expressions, that I have basically offloaded to AI almost in its entirety for non trivial things.


Regex is easier to write than read so it seems not the best use of AI given you actually verify what it gives you and don't just take it on faith :/


Completely agree. I turned it off and realized I can absolutely fly writing code when copilot stops getting in the way. I only turn on for writing tests now.
