It’s not perfect, but it’s so much better than doing everything from scratch and it’s far more reliable for solving obscure runtime errors than chasing down all the typically dead-end results on a search engine for the stack trace. Or maybe I’m just the only one willing to endure the down votes. Either way, AI has been an exceptional boon in my daily workload.
No. I stopped using Copilot after the price increase. Now I do everything locally using Qwen. There’s a significant decrease in quality, not because Qwen is inherently worse, but because I only have 12GB of VRAM, but at least it’s affordable, and still better than no AI.
