    It could be level. Less experienced engineers find the boilerplate spit out by copilot extremely useful, more experienced find it more in the way.

    Is some of this just caused by more experienced folks being less inclined to learn AI tools? Maybe. I think experience writing code is the bigger factor though.

    I’m trying real hard to find it useful. I can see it eventually being more useful, but it’s just not worth the cost.

      Maybe, it’s just really rare for me to be looking at a "blank page’. 95% is an incremental improvement on top of something existing. So “boilerplate” would come into my workflow pretty rarely.

      Maybe some frequently-changing data science or data mining tasks?
