Every developer (~400) has a Copilot license of which about 50% are actively using it (we’ll start pruning licenses next month).

My experience so far is that it’s biggest benefit is writing tests and refactoring code. The major downside is that it has a habit of introducing very subtle bugs that are easy to miss even with human review.

Literally zero and a large chunk of the people you know have most likely actively used the software the company makes for more than an hour a day (pretty much regardless of country). If not, its replaced by software that serves the same goal from a different provider. The teams we work with are equally not using it.

AI is not the future. It is not a tool worthy of use, and it is a major distraction from growing your skills. Especially if you are junior.
