How is everyone finding GitHub CoPilot? 🤔 Good / Bad ? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net do not use it, but gave it a try early on and was not impressed. it gave a good outline of what I asked but then unreliably dorked up all the crucial parts.
I will say though if it is truly learning at the rate they say then it should be a good tool.
- It’s criminal: Copilot was only possible because of massive theft of other peoples’ work (no compensation or even acknowledgement to any of the developers whose code was used to create Copilot)
- It’s positioned to put software developers out of work or so fully de-skill them that they no longer know how to code anything but prompts (after which come corporate-justified salary and benefits decreases)
Don’t use it. No one should ever use it. You’re destroying your own future as a software developer by leaning on and supporting these things.
