Copilot is awful. It is clearly optimized to be able to be cost-effective while still running thousands of queries a day literally every time you touch the keyboard (which doesn’t mean they aren’t losing money hand over fist about it, just not as much as they would be).
Just pay your $20/month to claude.ai, and copy and paste code back and forth with it instead. It still can’t really understand, or work on problems above a certain size, but it is at least fairly capable within the limits of what modern LLMs can do. It also has fairly nice features like being able to upload big chunks of code to a project as the “context” for what you were working on, and then having all chats be within the frame of reference of that context, and it actually works.
Of course, Anthropic will now hold all your employer’s code which depending on what you’re working on and how you feel about your employer might not be ideal. But that was true anyway.

@PhilipTheBucket @Omgboom my experience with Claude lasted 1 minute: “I can’t search the internet”
ok, next!
What were you asking it?
