Yes I know that, Pete. But I do find it odd that I can usually complete at least half of The Spectator crossword in a couple of hours, but very rarely get the CCC.

The Spectator clues are probably well written compared to our amateurish efforts

Possibly, but many of the CCC ones are very clever.

I used to like @Randor clues but he seems to not partake these days

I am indeed. It's good at reminding me of the syntax of features I haven't used in a while. As an aide memoire, it's well worth the price.

I'm not sold on it. I watched this today Getting started with GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio 2022 - Install & Login - YouTube[^]. (Link is safe it came from a TechNews email from Microsoft)
I've always thought Intellisense was great, I'm loving the new auto complete feature in VS2022. I have a code generator to do all the boring CRUD code and lots of code that I can easily copy. So at this stage, I can't really see a use for it for myself.

That's a good point. For those that use VS Code as their drivers though, it's nice. Not sure if the new VS Intellisense will generate code too, but us VS Code folks never had that fanciess. Sure we had snippets, etc. but ya know... it was pre-baked stuff. We wanna be cool too.

I'm still in the process of convincing peeps my company to buy Copilot. At this point it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, it's the future. Absolutely no coder would go without intellisense these days. This is no different.

hi, i'm a long term ReSharper user (19 years ?) who turns VS Studio intellicode off ... both on you get drowned in suggestions 
be interesting to see comparative reviews appear of these new assist/generative tools.
ReSharper's beta ai is mind-meltingly good at generative.
best wishes, bill

Can't help but think this would make a good article. It would be cool to see.

i am writing an article/tip on the generative in ReSharper ... people can then compare that with their ai assist output.

Beyond "how do I code a connection string in MySQL", it has no answers for my questions; like, how would I program a brigade to go from an order in battle to an order in column, on an inner subdivision, right in front, left behind?

Similar to one of my problems. What size Hellbore is required to disable top-of-the-line Axorc armored units, and how many shots are needed?
