Oddly, I don't tend to get that experience very much. More often, it's "That's not how I'd naively write that code, there must be some catch to it. If only I had the foresight to write a comment about it..." Alas, I'm still not very good at writing enough comments.


Now this is where AI assisted coding shines in my opinion.

I find myself both:

- writing a comment so that Copilot knows what to do

- letting Copilot write my comment when it knows what I did

I'm now a lot more reliable with my comment writing.
