It increased mine yesterday, by quite a bit. I was writing some JSON-to-array-of-arrays conversion code, and when I started to type it out -- dreading the inevitable off-by-one hunt -- CoPilot spat out the code, and it was correct! It helped that I've done this many times, and knew it was correct, but it saved me needing to think about it, or track down any bugs.
This conversion code was in service to using Plotly (the JS graphing library) for the first time. I was trying to get the axes of my surface plot to be labelled with the correct values (instead of just their index), and spent probably a half hour looking at the demos and the docs, and not finding what I needed. I asked CoPilot in the VSCode chat window about it, and it gave me exactly what I hadn't been able to find. As soon as I saw it, I understood the natural extension of the API call I was seeing in the demo, but I still hadn't found a second data point to even start extrapolating, if you take my meaning.
Anyway, I'm paying the $10/mo out of my own pocket, and yesterday -- at least to me -- it paid for itself for the month in just those two examples. I find it delightfully surprising. I just need to find a way to make it stop suggesting comments. I can type my own comments, thank you very much.
