That means their metrics suck.

Because I definitely gain a lot as a programmer, even though it doesn't necessarily translate into measurable profit for my company.

I do spend my brain less on grindy boring shit and more on crafting creative solutions to interesting problems. Which in turn makes me quite happy - a HUGE benefit.

But would you pay for it?

My employer's paying for my access, and I only find it a bit useful here and there

Maybe my company gets a great discount or something, but if they would pay me the subscription cost to give up Copilot, I would

Don't know why you were down dooted, that's absolutely true and exactly how I feel, and how everyone I've talked to about copilot feels.

Been coding up a little dashboard in the last week, and it's been making me around 30% more efficient.

And you are right, it's mostly taking away the boring parts, which is awesome.
