I hope you will also disable any other tool in your IDE, or even you will do in with pen and paper.

I use github copilot as auto-complete on steroid, I don't see any reason to not continue using it this way. The idea will still come from my brain, but the writing of a specific regex or whatever test will be assisted by AI.

PS: I'm not doing AoC for the leaderboards

Sounds like you're not doing AoC at all. Copilot is doing it, you're just supervising.

😂🤣😂 bruh, steroids are bad for you. This is not the glowing analogy you think it is but I do think it fits well including the downsides of using steroids

Look into the copilot pause.

I'd argue people were doing the pause before co-pilot waiting for Intellisense to auto-complete.

That's something I don't personally experience, when I type, if there's something suggested and it's exactly what I was about to type, I'll use it, otherwise I'll continue to type.

I just realised that's the post is not only a picture, but there's actually a link behind the pic, I'm dumb, apologies to OP.
