I completed my degree over 20 years ago and due to dot com bust and the path I took never coded as a full time role, some smallbits of dev and scripting but nothing where I would call myself a developer. I've had loads of ideas down through the years but never had the time work to complete them or learn the language/stack to complete them. Over the last 3 weeks I've been working on something small that should be ready for a beta release by the end of August. The ability to sit down and work on a feature or bug when I only have a spare 30 mins and be immediately productive without having to get in the zone is a game changer for me. Also while I can read and understand the code writing it would be at least 10 times slower for me. This is a small codebase that will have less than 5k lines and is not complicated so github copilot is working well for me in this case. I could see me paying for higher tiers given the productivity gains. The only issue I can see is that we might end up with a society where those that can afford the best subscriptions have more free time, get more done, make more money and are more successful in general. Even current base level subscriptions are too expensive for huge percentage of the global population.

This criticism seems like a complete non-sequitur to me.
Bring back the GitHub Copilot in the CLI commands to not break workflows
