   Thinking about it some more, the fundamental flaw with CoPilot is that the goal is to make it faster and easier to generate code.

   As a programmer, you don't want to generate code.

   You want to solve problems, and the less code involved the better. I don't want tools that will generate repetitive code, I want less repetition.

   https://github.blog/2022-09-07-research-quantifying-github-copilots-impact-on-developer-productivity-and-happiness/ shows the problem. "Less mental effort on repetitive tasks", sure, but you should be trying to _prevent_ the repetition, not do more of it.
