There was this interesting cycle of development that you could do -  Start writing a function, and have it suggestion completions Write a comment that explains the function, and have it write the function for you If it doesn't seem right, have it generate multiple versions of that function Ask it to evaluate the function it just generated for correctness and possible bugs Ask it to explain the function line-by-line Besides that, it can also comment code, or write unit tests for code. Those seem super-u...
