  • Completely depends on how often you need to write boilerplate code, and how error-prone it is.

    After writing hundreds of instances of ‘fetch this from the server and show an error if it doesn’t work’, I finally wrote a helper for that. It took 2 hours, shouts at me if I use it wrong, and instantly makes my classes easier to read because all the boilerplate is gone. As an added bonus, the invocation is so small that Copilot can write it error-free, which it couldn’t before.

    So fetching things is now a thing of a few seconds instead of one minute with a chance of making a mistake. I say it’s worth it.

    The long ‘island’ north of Iceland and the long island to the left are probably the inhabited parts of Greenland. The north of Canada and the North of Russia seem to be very sparsely populated, too. So are the arid regions of Africa and Saudi-Arabia. According to my interpretation of this map.
