Most Teams Are Still Using 5% of Copilot
Most developers still treat GitHub Copilot like a very good autocomplete engine. That's useful, but it's not the real unlock.
The interesting shift happens when Copilot stops acting like a generic assistant and starts acting like a domain-expert teammate. Instead of re-explaining your deployment rules, your content pipeline, or your release checklist every session, you package that expertise once. Then Copilot shows up already knowing the job.
That's the difference between using Copilot and building with Copilot. One gives you better suggestions. The other gives you reusable specialists that understand your repo, your patterns, and your operating model.
