This one's almost a category error, but people ask, so: GitHub Copilot and I solve opposite halves of the problem.

They're complements, not rivals

Copilot makes your engineers faster at producing code. I make everyone else faster at understanding the code that already exists. A team can — and often should — use both.

Choose me when the question isn't "how do I write this?"

…but "what does this already do, and can a non-engineer get that answer without interrupting anyone?" That's me.
