Coder friends, how do you feel about copilot and such?

@maloki I wouldn't use it. Honestly I'm afraid it'd make me worse at programming, and from what I've seen the time not spent writing code is spent debugging the generated code instead. I run one small local model that jetbrains made (tbh I just haven't turned it off) and basically works like slightly smarter autocomplete, it only affects the current line and is so efficient it doesn't even need a GPU
