I use resharper all the time, and since I can't use it at work, I found a free alt on visual studio. I can live without them but they are great bc they have more warnings and they help me keep up best practices and write clean code

That is not comparable at all to something like copilot which is trained on the entirety of GitHub as a dataset, and writes code for you

That's not to say it's good or bad at it's job, personally I don't use it bc I'm still a bit concerned about the ethics of training on people's repo's without their knowledge and consent + I don't want to train an AI that may put us developers out of a job one day (as archaic as that sounds lol). Low and no code development software are already on the rise and I'm not gonna help to fine tune the ultimate low/no code tool

Also, even if it was that good, idc. Let me screw up the code and then I'll fix it when it messes something up. I get paid to write, break, and fix the app so if it takes a lot of time, my job will just have to deal with it.

Now I understand copilot has a real virtue of writing out boilerplate for you, but coming from Java, I really don't feel like .net kills me w a lot of crazy boilerplate tbh so again I have no need
