I tried it with php which also has a huge amount of code online. The constant checking of the generated code and fixing it was what slowed me down.
yeah, makes sense. when i'm not doing a test-driven workflow, i usually only allow copilot to generate simple things. with unit tests it's a lot easier because the tests are easy to read and verify, and they expose the errors in other parts of the code
