Copilot keeps finishing my code for me in near real time... it completely disrupts my train of thought and my productivity dropped tremendously. I finally disabled it.

I LIKE writing code, stop trying to take the stuff away that I WANT to do and instead take away the stuff I HATE doing.

    Yeah, I just wrote a blog post comment about how I enjoy using Copilot. But that's when I explicitly ask it a question or give it a task. The auto complete is wrong more often than it's right.

    Probably doesn't help that if it was tedious, boilerplate code I would have already explicitly asked it.

    I like auto complete because I'm a terrible speller I'd write "int countOfCommplixThang", but auto complete guesses "int countComplexThing" Sometimes it even comes up with a better name than I would

    I wish I could get it to stop finishing comments for me. It’s like some jackass is trying to complete my sentence for me but gets it completely wrong every time and it breaks my train of thought.
