Helped: Assigning issues to Copilot and iterating on PRs like a junior dev.

Got in the way: Direct interaction with LLMs for non-generic code snippets.

… Now with GitHub Copilot (you need a Pro Plus I think) I'm creating an issues, assigning to Copilot, and then having a back and forth on the PR with Copilot until it's right. Exactly as I would with a junior dev and honestly it's the first time I've felt like AI could make a noticeable difference to my productivity.
