Oh wow github copilot is now included with my account! Amazing!
By which I mean, pathetic. But if you really want me to use it I'm rather flexible on hourly rate, lmk.
I guess it's as good time as any time admit I've been using JetBrains' magical autocomplete for Rust boilerplate and it does save time indeed.
But only in that one specific scenario where I already know exactly what I want to write next, and it knows that too, because that's what everyone writes there, because Rust is a bit of Java in that regard innit.
And I can just ignore it if we disagree. That's good, I can work with that.
Would I pay for it though? Fuck no. I'd rather they finally added keyboard shortcuts for live templates.
Like, what this experience demonstrates to me isn't that "AI can be useful for development", but that "Rust is so verbose that a big dumb Markov chain can write a meaningful portion of it".
