It took me a long time but I finally figured out that Copilot and friends are not meant for me, they’re meant for JavaScript programmers.
One of the reasons I’m enjoying Rust is because there’s a culture of being very thoughtful about every line of code you write, and every dependency you add.
Conversely, in JS land, “just add this dependency” is now a meme.
In a land where you’re encouraged to “just” add more boilerplate (thanks, create-react-app), why wouldn’t you outsource that?
