> If you’ve used CoPilot in VSCode, you understand the satisfaction of feeling like an LLM is thinking one step ahead of you.
I’m not sure it’s so much ‘satisfaction’; it felt more like I was having a stroke until I turned it off. Its suggestions were, like, plausibly code, but completely contextually nonsensical in general; frankly IntelliJ’s old autocomplete-with-guessing functionality was better, as it at least _knows_ a certain amount about the codebase. Now, this was on a very large old codebase; no doubt it’s better if writing trivial new things.
