I used my Copilot trial to explore writing tests more than writing code. I found that it actually worked well, especially for data and boilerplate heavy tests, like table-driven tests in Go. It was saving me quite literally dozens, if not a hundred or more, of keystrokes. I wrote Go for side projects these days, not for work, so I don't pay for the license, but if I was writing Go again professionally I'd pay for the license for this alone.

In my day job, I write Ruby, and it didn't impress me much when I used it with Rspec. I'd says it was saving me maybe a dozen or so keystrokes in total to write a new spec.
