    well I have started using Github copilot for programming, it does some things well and for example speeds up very well when I write unit tests because once you start with a pattern they are mostly repetitive with minor changes.

    Should I start charging less for my work?

      Can’t you just turn those into a single parameterized test with the test cases described as data?

        I mean of course if there is only a given set of variables that changes test-to-test then I do that.

        But I meant tests, that are really similar, but the variable that changes or combination of changes is varied enough that you can’t parametrize it.

        Some things you also shouldn’t parameterize for the sake of overview and intuitiveness in understand.
