Using GitHub Copilot has transformed my development experience. It’s not just a productivity boost—it represents a fundamental shift in how I approach coding. Before Copilot, much of my focus was on mastering language and framework specifics. One of its biggest advantages is that I no longer need to spend as much time memorizing framework syntax or language quirks. Copilot suggests relevant code snippets based on context, allowing me to focus on problem-solving rather than syntax details. This has been especially helpful when switching between languages or working with unfamiliar frameworks. By handling repetitive tasks, Copilot frees me to spend more time thinking about business logic and deepening my domain knowledge. Instead of getting bogged down in writing mundane code, I can concentrate on creating better solutions and improving the overall architecture of my projects.
For a mature codebase that has developed "patterns" and well defined code structures, this tool is a massive productivity booster. Just tell it what you want and it does a pretty flawless job converting your thoughts to code.
@zaczuo do you plan to include Gemini 2.5?

Coding agents are awesome! The github copilot agent with sonnet 3.7 in Code is as good as they come! And most of the code is really good. But sometimes when it solves something it also accidentally deletes 900 lines of code. But it usually happens in files that are very long, or when the codebase is not well documented. So a trick is to modularize the code base, and add comments in the code. However, many files also becomes tedious to manage with bots, its a balancing act. Im not sure if im ready to assign tasks to an autonomous agent tho. Supervision is really key. Usually takes a few rounds of chatting before a solution to a problem is found. And without the back and forth, the solution often derail. One thing I do find interesting right now is to fire up 3 agents. and have them work on separate branches on separate problems. Just start 3 windows in VSCode.
Devin like workflow?
