Are you still using AI tools to help with development?

I trialed GitHub Copilot and used ChatGPT for a bit, but recently I found myself using them less and less.

I've found them valuable when doing something new(at least to me), but for most of my day-to-day it seems to have lost it's luster.

  • I just came back to copilot after the preview ended.

    Keeps being pretty good at writing boilerplate, and not that good at much else.

    For example when I’m writing a struct like “User” it more or less fills the fields I’m going to need, guesses the types and tags.

    In new projects is also pretty good at suggesting things I might want to do. Maybe it gets the implementation wrong, but many times affect what I start working on next.

    For the legacy Java code bases I maintain at work is completely useless. Maybe Copilot X can do something to help with that, we’ll see.
