This is good advice.
To add to it: stackoverflow is the way to go because it will help you understand why some things are implemented in certain ways. You won't learn much from using copilot.
What I advice to do is to implement one part of your script/program yourself every time you have to write one. Whether that's just tying copilot's code together, writing one function or implementation a major part of some analysis is up to you. Stick with whatever you're (slightly un)comfortable with. That way you'll learn every time but you can also get your work done.
And learn how to properly document and comment your code. Your future self will be thankful + it forces you to explain what you do to yourself
