I've been getting a lot more misses than hits with Github Copilot, even when writing elementary math or utility functions; but despite its error I am nevertheless astonished at its approximation of intent.

Very eager to see Github Copilot catchup to some bright line of signal v noise.

I would say the reverse, I’m getting so many hits that I’m mindblown. And when it missed, I can generally still use that and fix the suggestion, as it’s faster.

It's a glorified autocomplete to me. It seems like it feeds me mostly things I'd get from searching Stack Overflow. The first day was pretty interesting but the novelty wore off quickly. You still need to grok what it spews out and see if it's correct.

And the worst thing about that is that you don't get the context of the Stack Overflow threads, where people discuss the impact of the given solution and alternatives. So after a week, off it went for me.
