"GitHub, GitHub’s parent company Microsoft and OpenAI have teamed up to deliver a tool that comes up with source code for programmers to use as they work.

The system can make recommendations in almost any programming language, although it works best with the popular JavaScript, Python and TypeScript languages."

Curious about [github] engineers' real experience with github's co-pilot tool. For instance, how much code can the tool actually "auto-complete" and what type of code (eg. API boilerplate code, or complex logic)?
