It's comments like these that make me wish I could stand behind the chair of the people who get these results because I feel like there's something lost in translation. I don't know if I'm taking your comment too literally but this part confuses me:

> It writes lots of code before I even think about what I was going to do in that file.

If you haven't even thought of what you want to do in the file, how are you prompting Copilot to write the code you need? Am I understanding correctly that Copilot not only generates the correct code, but it's also able to deduce what code you meant to ask for without any input from you? I don't see how this is possible except in the uncommon case where you are bringing a file to be more in line with other files in your code base that have a similar structure.

I do think Copilot can be useful, but I'm confused at how different my experience is from what others are getting out of the tool.
