A colleague once "showed off" how impressive Copilot supposedly was. I was like:

  1. Please don't let AI write unit tests. That's the one spot where I really don't need bugs done by automation.
  2. Don't you guys use snippets? I do that shit faster with snippets, macros and knowing my way around neovim.

I don’t have snippets set up for languages I’ve never touched before.

But copilot sucks. ChatGPT went super downhill. Claude is alright. If I know the language then it’s not that helpful. But if I don’t, or I don’t know the algorithm, then yeah, it’s super helpful.

My LSP has some neat built-in snippets. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd rather just write it out. I've never used snippets or macros per say, but I do make liberal use of regex replace and multiline cursors lol. Writing out a bunch of getters and setters? Regex!

I did try LLM tab auto complete and while sure, it did suggest some stuff that was useful (after refactoring it), the amount of time I spent WTF'ing some suggestions it made wasn't worth it.

I find more benefit from asking an LLM about something I'm undecided or confused about, and while it's never given me a good enough answer, it has stirred enough creative juices in my brain to help me along lol.

Edit: sorry for the dupes. When Eternity said it failed the send I took that at face value.
