Topic:

Why
- Speed up development
- Catch errors faster than type checking/compiling
- Writing tedious boilerplate code
- Ask questions and learn local information
- Look good for hiring managers
How
- Extensions for VSCode & other IDEs for inline suggestions
- Chat with a selection/file
- Command-line Tools run at the root directory
- Local vs Cloud
Examples
- Copilot (VSCode extension)
  - Use the experimental mode
- Cursor (Custom IDE)
  - Jumps to suggest changes in other places
  - Similar to copilot experimental mode
- RooCode (VSCode extension)
