I second this. GH Copilot for coding is an amazing tool, not just for boilerplate, but to fill complementary logic, brainstorm test cases, rewriting and refactoring, reducing typos or “copy and paste” errors, documentation, prototyping code from a human-written description, and probably several other things at different levels of competence.
Makes me wonder what people that don’t find it useful are trying to do with it. Sure you’ll probably need or want to change some things, but that’s miles ahead of having to write it from zero.
Hell, if you start declaring a function with a good name and good names + types for the arguments, it’ll often write an implementation that is mostly correct using the rest of the file as context.
