Yeah, I was lucky that I snuck into my company's pilot program for it.

I'm impressed at how often it predicts what I'm about to do. The code almost always needs a slight bit of editing, but it almost always at least shaves a bit of time off of whatever task I was doing.

I no longer go straight to stackoverflow, I always ask the copilot first. Sometimes even just phrasing the question in natural language, something I wouldn't do it trying to find it via search or stackoverflow, is kind of like rubber duck debugging, and I'll come up with the answer while writing it out.
