    I will forever continue to suggest that as a developer, you learn your IDE of choice’s features for templates/code snippets, or make yourself a “templates” file to copy and paste from.

    Far more control, far less opportunity to miss something small and mess up, cheaper, less resource use, and faster.

    Using VsCode/VsCodium’s snippets feature has been a serious game changer for me when it comes to boilerplate.

      Copilot shines where snippets/templates don’t work or make no sense. It can write constructors, simple methods, and even simple classes if something similar is found in the solution.
