I’ve found it to be great at writing unit tests too.
I use github copilot in VS and it’s fantastic. It just throws up suggestions for code completions and entire functions etc, and is easily ignored if you just want to do it yourself, but in my experience it’s very good.
Like you said, using it to get the meat and bones of an application from scratch is fantastic. I’ve used it to make some awesome little command line programs for some of my less technical co-workers to use for frequent tasks, and then even got it to make a nice GUI over the top of it. Takes like 10% of the time it would have taken me to do it - you just need to know how to use it, like with any other tool.
