There are two side of a programmer
a. Intellectual - The one who solves a problem by design discussions and creating mental model of the solution.
b. Robotic - The one who actually types the code, tests it, makes it free of issues and deploys it.
Just like the deployment part is taken care of by the CI/CD pipelines now, the CoPilot now attempts to automate the "typing code" part in a different way than the IDEs have approached.
