The 2 remaining devs using Copilot will leave it.
It's rare to see such a clear example of first-mover disadvantage as GitHub Copilot.

    Honestly, only Tesla comes to mind. Maybe bleeding edge tech frontier is the one place where first movers RND cost is heavy enough to make it irrecoverable.

    It's interesting to contrast this w/ the field of medicine; RND cost can be recovered by squeezing the folks in the domestic market.

    The company I work for had a pilot project for a while but recently they opened up for all users to order Github Copilot. Of course it is Github Copilot since everything else at the company is from Microsoft.
