My Typescript Journey and effect of Copilot auto-completion

I have brake of 1 and half month from uni so i decided to improve my dev skills by learning new skills I asked ChatGPT what should i learn based in my skill set with that 1 and half month time. he gave me few options and like what i am interested so i decided to go with general development and devOps and leave fundamental which i will be learning usually in university. for development it suggests me to learn ES6+ Function in JS and async await which i learn in two day from docs and YT. after that i started to learn typescript from Hitesh Chaudhary tutorial FreeCodeCamp. while i was practicing code in VScode I notice problem copilot is auto-completing my code just when I name functions it generally helps me but in this case, it bothers me it doesn't let me even think for sec and give me answer while it's great for development it not necessarily helpful here it is counter-productive here it doesn't help me learn. so, my advice for you will be turn-off copilot auto-completion while you are learning you can use copilot chat for questions and how something work it would increase learning speed so ask question to copilot for clarifying doubts but not use it for code for you.

My Typescript Journey and effect of Copilot auto-completion

I have brake of 1 and half month from uni so i decided to improve my dev skills by learning new skills

I asked ChatGPT what should i learn based in my skill set with that 1 and half month time. he gave me few options and like what i am interested so i decided to go with general development and devOps and leave fundamental which i will be learning usually in university.

for development it suggests me to learn ES6+ Function in JS and async await which i learn in two day from docs and YT.

after that i started to learn typescript from Hitesh Chaudhary tutorial FreeCodeCamp. while i was practicing code in VScode I notice problem copilot is auto-completing my code just when I name functions it generally helps me but in this case, it bothers me it doesn't let me even think for sec and give me answer while it's great for development it not necessarily helpful here it is counter-productive here it doesn't help me learn.
