Helped: Small personal projects where the tool has access to all necessary context.
Got in the way: Large day-job projects requiring access to almost the entire codebase.
… For example, personal projects that are small and where copilot has access to all the context it needs to make a suggestion - such as a script or small game - it has been really useful. But in a real world large project for my day job, where it would need access to almost the entire code base to make any kind of useful suggestion that could help me build a feature, it's useless! And I'd argue this is when I need it.
