It's mediocre. Sometimes it's plain wrong, sometimes right but not exact and so on.

#6Is there a TL;DR?
He seems to know the codebase and works out the problem for about 30 mins sometimes fastfowarded. Then at about 28 mins copilot smashes the answer instantly when he types a method name at the bottom of a utils file.
he doesn't like it though as he seems to know the api really well and wants the util to use his api instead. so deletes the copilot answer and types out a different answer using the api which he knows.
then creats a few unit tests.
This was an interesting watch and useful to see other peoples setups.

#7it would be interesting if copilot could generate the code based on your unit tests

#8He probably spent more time figuring out if the suggestions are usable than he would have needed to just implement those manually.
