The free tier has lots of limitations

2000 code completions a month isn't a lot considering it would autocomplete as you type.For the bare basics I would say that 2000 intelligent code completions a month and 50 Co-pilot chat messages a month a month is enough. If you are a professional, best examine the pricing tiers. I would say that the amounts are generous. There are some essentials excluded from the free tier, but I can't see how anyone who it is aimed at in the free tier would need it anyway.

I'll pass, thanks
It's bad enough my employment is threatened by this AI malarkey
I am contemplating changing careers, get two men, a bakkie and become a plumber or electrician. The latter I will need to write an exam for, which is not a big deal.My man, you need to embrace AI however grudgingly it may be.
Otherwise less smart people will do more work in less time - a far bigger threat to your employment.
