Will your work pay for github copilot?

    Probably not.

    It doesn't work well, sure it can throw some code in for you, but it doesn't usually get things right, or even usefully working.

    YMMV though 🤷‍♂️
    Want fizzbuzz or Fibonacci, sure.
    Want a dirty DB connector, sure.

    Want it to run into an infinite loop of:
    var my_field_1
    var my_field_1_1
    Var my_field_1_2

    And so on, it's great at that 😂

    There's also the issue of code licensing and where the code actually comes from, no one knows what repo(s) are being accessed and if they are reputable or not.

    I use the pilot for shots and giggles, and it's saved me a little but not significant time for a couple of
    Personal projects, but I wouldn't introduce it to an enterprise level any day soon.

    @C0D4 not knowing where code is coming from and scans of my code is exactly why I'm pulling all my repos to self-hosted.

    Fuck those greedy no talent pieces of shit.

    Better question: Will anybody want to use copilot at work?
