To be expected, given how many organisations now require employees to use AI if they want to meet their OKRs, especially all that sell AI tools.

replyI haven't used Copilot much, because people keep saying how bad it is, but generally if you add escape hatches like this without hard requirements of when the LLM can take them, they won't follow that rule in a intuitive way most of the time.
Yeah, I tried various very sane-looking instrucions file when starting to use copilot 6 months ago. Turned out it was not really useful. It mostly follows the rules anyway, but it also often forgot to. So turns out, especially with the fast turnaround with models today, it was better to just forego these instructions files.
replyIt is kind of alright, I use mostly on VS when coding C# or C++, for code completions, error analysis, check code quality and such.
replyAs agent, or writing everything for me, not yet.
the $10 plan makes a great backup to claude or codex and the inline completions are nice
