You can think bigger than that, as an example from the other day, I got it to a Display implementation for all of my error types in rust, it generated nice user friendly error messages based on context and wrote all the boilerplate around displaying them
Also got it to generate a function that generated a unique RGB colour from a user ID, did it first try and I could use it straight away
Both those things would’ve taken me maybe 15 minutes by hand but I can generate and proofread them in seconds
That said, I don’t use copilot I use chatgpt, it’s intentional when I use it not just being shoved in my face all the time which might help my opinion of it
