Been using copilot and another smaller AI model for hobby projects. Both of them slowed me down as much as they helped me with my code.
Now I’ve switched to supermaven free tier, and it’s actually net positive for me.
It’s not like it’s writing whole functions for me, but it’s actually quite context sensitive when it comes to defining functions and using them with the same parameters and things like that. I won’t say I am 50% faster, but I could easily attribute a 30% development boost to it. Now mind you, for bug fixes and bug prevention that’s back down to a 5% boost in speed, but that’s still a net positive, so I’ll take that.
