Copilot by Github x OpenAI - Your AI pair programmer

Just as there's about to be a programmer shortage, it looks like the robots are coming to save us!

Is this somehow different from tabnine.com ?

I’m personally skeptical how this works because if it makes too many mistakes, like these GPTs often tend to do, it’s probably just faster to write it manually. In my opinion this is not kind of problem that should or could be solved with GPT-3 but some later version that’s much smarter.

Is this going to be integranted only with VSCode?

This frees up a lot of time while writing code. Instead, time is better spent on things like choosing better names and adding tests.

I agree with this ^. Do you know how often the "prediction" was correct?

I am never surprised by what limits OpenAI can surpass! Simply amazing!

Looks like the biggest jump in programming since object oriented programming 😅 If works as promised, it will speed up my development process big times! Can't wait to give it a try Congrats!!

what a gamechanger!

It definitely saved me typing up some lines, specially getter, setter methods. I was also astonished a couple of times when it predicted a bit more complex (few lines of code) methods correctly. What it cannot save is the need for reviewing the code it generates, since it needs correcting more often than not. I feel that if it gets way better, I will be more like a reviewer of my code that it's developer, costing me the detailed understanding of my own code base.
