If you haven't already I urge you to try getting ChatGPT4 to do most of your programming for you. Just ask it interview style coding questions and refine the answer with more interview like follow on questions. And for making changes to existing code, you might need to check with your company's policies on this, but if you're ok to paste code into ChatGPT you can also just ask how to change it to do Y instead of X. Copilot is.... ok? StarCoder is pretty bad IMHO. ChatGPT4 is really empowering.

It’s great for making changes to existing code because it automatically includes the relevant files for context.
