me and my co-workers: "lmao lets see if this github copilot is so great as they claim"

copilot: *solves issue we've been working on for 8 hours, in 10 seconds*

(┛ಠ_ಠ)┛彡┻━┻

I had an interview where I had to demo rendering a video on my component. I had copilot on, so it suggested this url. The video didn't load, but the video component was rendered so it was enough.

Later, I got curious about what it suggested, and I thought about it, but didn't think it would be that.
So, I clicked on it and got rickrolled lol.

The cake is a lie

I love tools such as IntelliSense or Copilot, don't get me wrong!

But i still have a deep rooted fear that one day, developers will become so dependent on those luxuries, that we will become practically unable to write code on our own, without our cloud overlords blessings.

Until, you know.. the server for such a service will crash and no one will know how to fix it without its own help. *see Palpatine meme reference*

Coding faster is more important than code quality? GitHub shows a call to action: "Code 55% faster with GitHub Copilot". WTF?

My GitHub Copilot can write better feature files than these clowns...

🤡

Why is every innovation trying to go towards "replacing programmers"? like, what have we done to you?

GitHub CoPilot will replace programmers!
AI will replace programmers!
This/That tech will replace programmers!

Nobody says,

"Programmers work remote so we don't need to hire managers anymore!"

"Programmers wrote a monitoring script for progress tracking, so no need for managers anymore!"

"We are asking people to install sprinklers everywhere so we don't need firefighters!"

"We can just have one teacher record the subject material once and re-use the same video every year, so now we don't need to hire teachers anymore!"

"We are making everything legal so we don't need to hire policemen!".

Why is everything trying to replace programmers?

How to mess with Github Copilot:
1. create open source repo with MIT license
2. create generic functions that solve specific problems
3. put violent, racist, sexist, phobic, political, etc phrases in the code
4. get other people to fork the repo and make their own versions
5. watch as people get upset over copilot being evil and putting shit into their code

GitHub Copilot - less developers, more engineers.

And this boys and girls,
Is how you start doing less work - apparently.

GitHub
Welcome to GitHub Copilot Technical Preview!

We’re thrilled to invite you to start testing GitHub Copilot. Your feedback will help us make it even better.

😎

Github Copilot suggested something I forgot to add. Feels like it is motivating me to complete this personal project. :)

Microsoft revoked my GitHub Copilot Beta licence because it is now available for everyone for $10/month :(

Fuck you Microsoft

Is it just me or is GitHub Copilot having a stroke the last couple of days?
Usually it's amazing but lately it's been getting variable names, indentation, parentheses and more wrong.
It just wrote a line that is indented with 446 spaces xD
If this is some A/B testing, I want to join the other group pls.

Just go access to GitHub Copilot! Woohoo!

But dang it's sometimes scary. It's like it can read your mind and knows what to write before you even know it.

The future looks spicy

I really hope copilot can make us have the discussion about what right companies have to exploit publically accessible work as fodder for their machine learning systems that they earn money on. Copilot is 100% about trying to monetize githubs users without paying for it.

A bit of a shocker to see Microsoft putting an add that isn't annoying or eating up half the screen or damaging my eyes, let's hope it stays like this

After I have been using tabnine and Grammarly for quite some time, I thought I follow this years' hype and give GitHub Codepilot a try, before eventually considering chatGPT.

Added Copilot to my IDE, proceeded to extend behavioral test descriptions in JavaScript.

Copilot suggests the most redundant and irrelevant inline comments I can imagine. They would be a legitimate target of criticism in every code review.

Wasn't it supposed to add some code that's actually useful? Well, tabnine and JetBrains IDEA annotations already did that anyway.

What did I miss?

Can github (not google) copilot be run on a company server? Or some scaled down version?

I could see this being useful for a version that only parses the code the company wants it to parse. Like an existing codebase. I often find snippets on how to solve something in the existing codebase, but it is usually hit or miss.

Lets go.....

I used to be deeply in love with programming and IT, I keep teaching myself language and tricks and I’m always enthusiastic of new challenges but since I saw a video of GitHub Copilot this Saturday I feel stuck in a rut. I used to find programming and IT skills which differentiated me from many of my peers but now it doesn’t feel special anymore, just glorified typing which can be replaced by a robot anytime in the future, my motivation is destroyed.

I keep fucking seeing GitHub copilot on YouTube but they won't let me have access. Fucking assholes

I’m paying for GitHub Copilot and it is serving me well in about 40% of the cases. It is nice to not have to type entire utility methods. Sometimes it also try-catches things that I wouldn’t generally do with a new library that I haven’t used before. Pretty cool.

I also used the Cursor IDE, that isn’t very useful in general cases, but helped me read and understand a horrible piece of 200 line-function with extremely cryptic variable names. Sadly, my free quota there ended.

I hope GitHub Copilot Chat is better at explaining things.

GitHub, your Copilot sucks, and so does Dependabot!

Dependabot opened 3 pull requests;
merging the first one caused conflicts in package.json and package-lock.json that must be resolved;
while trying to investigate further, the second pull request got closed as it suddenly seemed obsolete.
Dependabot: "Looks like these dependencies are no longer updatable, so this is no longer needed."

This kind of service generates so much noise and irrelevant alerts, it comes out of nowhere and there is no way to get rid of those bots once they invaded a repository. And they are so useless. A simple `npm outdated && npm upgrade` would have done better in 99% of the cases.

GitHub, your Copilot sucks, and so does Dependabot!

Does anyone actually use stuff like Github copilot and do you find it useful?

devRanters!

Do any of you find that you can type the solution faster than GitHub Copilot recommends?

That's how you know you're senior 😏

Also, on a serious note, does it only support JavaScript / TypeScript? Didn't really take time to investigate.

I thought there was also a feature you could tell it what to code and it would try to write a solution. Haven't really seen how to do that yet.

Just good GitHub Copilot access 😏

Can't someone use copilot to create copilot v2 and watch as Microsoft shuts down that shit for good

I love Github copilot, he saves so much time, speeds up the code writing. N understands me at times too.

Are you still in waiting list of GitHub Copilot?

Who is worried about GitHub copilot and the possible implications in the future? 1,2,3 go!

Class-action started against Microsoft and GitHub Copilot

Please don't fine them, just force any code written with Copilot to be released under GPL

What do you have to say about github putting a price of $10/month of Copilot?

What do you think happens when enterprise software meets big data and user generated content? Idk, ask Github. These guys are sitting on a goldmine. The paradise of every big company. The only reason they're not faang is cos it's niche but they'll probably be influential (read, big bad) in the coming years

I predict the copilot thing is a benevolent side. Or maybe it still seems so since it's still in infancy and hasn't aggressively started snatching most developer jobs. What will become of us when that time comes? What other form of technology can computer still require our assistance to create?

About a month in and I've found that Github copilot code suggestions are like magic half the time. The other half is useless garbage.

However, writing comments has been a dream. 99% of the time it gives the correct description. If anything its worth using for just that.

Could there be a "greater" GPL which explicitly declares that the constraint extends to use of the code as statistical data, such as in machine learning models?

Oh boy this may be my best product review yet. I'm totally smitten with GitHub Copilot! I always put off trying it, but I finally gave it a try recently. Man, oh man, once I got a taste of it, there was no going back. This auto-suggest feature is pure sorcery! It throws out complete function suggestions while you type, and it's all based on the context of your code.

Let me tell you if you have never tried it, it's freaking awesome and super handy! I've been learning Python for less than a month, but thanks to the freaking Copilot, my Python skills have skyrocketed like for real. I know this because I tackled a Python project and nailed it. The client was stoked because it worked flawlessly, even though my Python skills are still a bit rough around the edges.

The coolst thing is hw clean my code looks, especially for a beginner. all I have to do to add a comment is type a double slash, and Copilot takes care of the rest. It suggests what should go on each line as I type, and it's scarily accurate.

You know what's wild? On the GitHub page, it claims that Copilot writes 50% of the code. But, dude, for me, it wrote way more than that!

I f**king hate you JS, I hate you.
I beg our vast developer community, please replace this sh*t, or else
to Microsoft, let the devs access GitHub copilot for free. I don't want my best coding practices to fade away bcuz of this sh*t.

Now that we have GitHub Copilot, what happens if during an interview, I am asked to implement a sorting algorithm, say merge sort. If I guide the AI to do it for me, does this count as cheating? How will you feel as an interviewer?

Yo, Copilot moving to a paid model?

They were smart, let us use it for free for a while then grow a dependence and BAM, need to pay.

Will your work pay for github copilot?

So Copilot just not doing suggestions inline anymore? Has to be on a new line with no trailing characters?? .. 😩
