Currently all my C++ code is written with the help of AI (Github 
copilot). It basically replaces some googling. some find-and-replace and 
some recorded macros (which Visual Studio ditched several years ago) and 
sometimes offers some interesting code proposals. Still, at the moment I 
would say it is ca 50-50, I am not exactly sure if the overall effort of 
checking and fixing its code takes less time than figuring the correct 
approach out myself. At least it feels like communicating with someone 
who understands vaguely what I am doing for living! Hey, that's 
something ;-)
