@chapter1 @baldur I took a pair programming class a couple of weeks ago, and one of the exercises was for two humans to pair with copilot, which I hadn't used before. It was striking how quickly it felt that actually reviewing the code was an unnecessary bottleneck and I was holding things up by spending a couple of minutes reviewing what had been generated in a couple of seconds. I felt like I couldn't justify making the other person wait unless there was an obvious mistake.
