The official docs are pretty good and updated frequently, which is important with how fast these tools change. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/common-workflows

Let me try to add some nuance to the comments here. Mostly they are right, Copilot is not the right tool. But if you understand why you might still get some use out of it and prevent yourself from building up bad habits around it for when you get a better tool or Microslop improves it.

1. It’s dumber. OpenAi, Anthropic and the Chinese alternatives are betting their entire companies on the AI race. MS, Google and Meta may claim they do but they’re still playing it safe. They probably also want to pick up the scraps of the AI companies that go down. So while the older companies want to make a profit or at least not make too much of a loss the new AI only companies only care about cashflow, big usage numbers and usage data. More money means more servers means smarter models.
2. It’s not for programmers. The model needs to be smart but it also needs the right tools. Look up what a an AI harness is. Copilot’s harness is trying to be generic and connect you to other Microslop services. It’s not primarily a coding harness.
3. It has a PR problem. This one is not a comment on the actual capabilities of Copilot but rather on the sentiment in the comments. Copilot IS getting better. It IS starting to be useful, even for coding. But MS tried to push it in everyone’s faces before it was any good at all. They made existing products worse because of it. it left a bad taste in people’s mouths and you can tell from the comments here that some people, especially technically minded people, hate it.

It’s nearly impossible to flip an electric car because of the weight being so low. You’d have to drive it off a cliff.

Their point is that you are just nostalgic for old cars, simpler cars. All modern cars are overcomplicated, EV or not

It depends on how much human care and attention was used. Vibe coding gets all the media attention but real work is being done by experienced engineers that know how to guide this tool and wrangle the code into shape.
