I recently had to port a bash script to POSIX because my boss demands we still use
at, and wants exec to look likeat -f.99% of my time is spent in
bash, so in conjunction with the POSIX spec documentation, Copilot was useful in finding a solution for>(and ...)redirection (logging related), as mybashsolution was not compliant.It was helpful, but I still took the time to locate examples in the spec, and validate every single answer I got.
Outside of this, it has basically never been more productive than doing my own searches, research & testing (sysadmin & "devops").
