That's the funny thing. I definitely fall into the 'medium level' dev group (Coding is my job, but I haven't written a single line of code in my spare time for years), and frankly - I really like Copilot. It's like the standard code-completion on steroids. No need to spend excessive amounts of time describing the problem and review a massive blob of dubious code, just short-ish snippets of easily reviewed code based on current context.

Everyone seems to argue against AI as if vibe coding is the only option and you have to spend time describing every single task, but I've changed literally nothing in my normal workflow and get better and more relevant code completion results.

Obviously having to describe every task in detail taking edge cases into account is going to be a waste of time, but fortunately that's not the only option.
