Can any users give their opinion on how it's helping their productivity? What problems are they finding, if any?

Tried it out for a while, and it's clear that it's trying to get people to be faster at writing boilerplate, not get people to write better code.

I'm a bit scared for what this means as I don't think being able to faster write boilerplate is something worthwhile. The example ed_elliott_asc made is one of those examples where instead of fixing things so you don't have to repeat yourself, copilot makes it easy to just live with the boilerplate instead.

But do you believe people being slower at writing boilerplate is undesirable?

>>airstr+Wc
It may be desirable for boilerplate to be maximally painful if it forces our collective hands to cut down on boilerplate and innovate it away

In my experience whenever someone tries to "innovate" away boilerplate they end up creating shitty abstractions that are inflexible, poorly documented, and unmaintained.

Boilerplate generally exists for a reason, and it's not because the creator likes typing.
