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/resharper 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
