Yes, I use copilot, Claude, and sometimes Zed with the built in Claude AI tooling.

It's really useful for basic stuff, scripting, boilerplate, repetitive things, SQL. For example it's great at converting types from different languages, or generate types from API reference docs.

You gotta be careful though as it is not perfect and if you do something "not typical" it will not work well. Also sometimes it is a bit outdated, produces code with different "style", or just plain wrong stuff, so you have to tweak it a bit.

It's not going to code for you yet (unless you do very basic stuff) but it's a great tool to increase productivity. I do believe I move faster.

I enjoy using the Projects feature of Claude. You have a workspace to add knowledge (file/image/text) that you are able to update and maintain throughout multiple discussions.

Code autocompletion. I think it works around 60% of the cases, sometimes it saves some tipping. Performance increase: small. Additionally, I don't learn the API as good as if I were to type it, considering moving back.

Same here. Purely for scaffolding it's fine. But I won't let it decide implementation details. And have noticed the "copilot pause", slowing me down.

Maybe some day it will be good enough but that day is not now.
