If Copilot is making people 30% more productive then obviously they would be seriously worried that it might go away.

Reports vary massively on how useful Copilot is, some people say it makes them 3x as productive whereas others say it just gets in the way, I think 30% is a conservative estimate if you are working with the kind of code that Copilot is good for (front end JS/TS and backend python).




I would say for languages like bash haskell erlang 30% to 3x and doesn’t yet get in the way. It’s useful and acts as a muse when stuck with a cup-de-sac in terms of scarce human creativity
