If you are in maintenance mode your visits to Copilot will be rare. If you are building greenfield, use goes through the roof. All those test cases, nevermind all the POC and framework scaffolding and other boilerplate that is now completely unacceptable as a use of developer time.
I'm building "greenfield". I still use it at least daily, but the benefit just struggles to outweigh the cost of invoking it. Maybe I don't understand how to use it.
It really depends on what you are doing and what tech you are using. I use it to teach me or build out ideas quickly or solve for complex issues. Mostly these days I use it as a memory aid or to bounce ideas off it. In my job I have to move quickly and stay focused as I'm driving improvements to a tech stack that reaches across four verticals, each having their own quirks and tech stacks. It's great for jogging my memory and helping to flush out ideas and approaches that I then bounce off the dev teams. Super helpful.
