I'm a senior dev, and copilot as a productivity tool usually pays for the monthly license multiple times per week.

Whenever I hear someone say it's useless, that tells me they are either some godlike dev who knows everything already (lol), they haven't actually used it, they are not good at integrating new tools into their workflow, or they simply haven't learned how to use it yet.

Whenever I hear that its useless I ask them to show me how they're using it. Its almost always exactly what's happening in this comic with just a tiny bit more detail lol. I think a lot of people are stuck under the assumption that a smaller more concise query is better when its really the opposite that is true. The more information you give and the more you let the LLM work through a problem with followup questions, the better the output. Its like a new Jr Dev who knows their stuff, but struggles with asking clarifying questions.
