    I wonder how they measure that. Writing 30% of loc with AI seems like it will be terrible. Writing 30% of each loc with AI (i.e. autocomplete) seems feasible

      Yeah, what percentage of their code was previously written by Intellisense, because I suspect this is just copilot replacing intellisense plus a little more.

      Copilot is great for:

      a) replacing intellisense

      b) minor refractors / and very short method writing

      c) writing out boiler plate / test code
