GitHub Copilot is just a programmer worse than you typing over you on your own screen and asking you to review their code all day every day.

No thx
"A programmer worse than you"
Sir, you underestimate my incompetence..
Exactly. I watch junior developers using it and it's painful to watch.
haha, that's one way to look at it
Even if Copilot was a great programmer, I would have trouble using it because I need to stay familiar with my codebase.
Thank you! It can be useful but also equally frustrating
There are times when people try to contribute my code with copilot. and i could tell you that it's worse & less optimized.
💯 once we can train one of these privately and locally, on our own code and local patterns/standards, only then will I be interested
I actually feel like it’s making me a worse programmer. It’s definitely comes in handy sometimes, but is just making me lazy so I’m shutting it off.
And that (code) is the only plausible use case of AI .. because all other use cases - text answers , translations, music , art, call center agents etc can't justify the cost of compute .. humans are still lot more intelligent and lot cheaper .. and lot easier to higher , train and fire ..
It's crazy. It forgets to close brackets. Just like a "normal" programmer. Reminds me of the Turing test, something along the lines:
Human: Who do you think is going to win?
Computer: Team A.
Human: why?
Computer: I don't know. I just think so
There's a worse programmer than me?
Recently I turned it off and I actually feel how my code has improved, specially flow. You get in the zone much quicker.
I do turn it on if I know I have to so some repetitive task
Thank you.
Will it stay this way or eventually get good enough to save people time?

Holy shit, this! Copilot is still in it's "hot pile of shit" phase.

I find it's pretty helpful for rubber ducking and doing boilerplate (like with unit tests).
But what he wrote was legit funny and it do be sorta true. 😂
Yeah it is pretty true. Can't trust GitHub Copilot further than I can throw it.
I want learn programming 😦
I used to use it for boilerplate and error handling until I recently noticed that it would occasionally mix up “ok” and “err”…
Things like: v, err := someMap[key]
The “i” in LLM stands for intelligence :>
THIS!!!! Im so FUCKING sick of seeing bad programmers pretend like AI can do anything other than inform them or steal someone elses code. The point of coding is to think for yourself, once you take yourself out of the loop say goodbye to quality.
never tried it
Pode ajudar alguns não programadores a iniciar na programação. As IAs abrem algumas portas pra troca de áreas techs para pessoas não techs. Mas não deveria ser utilizado para programar. Profissionais ainda estão muito melhores do que IAs.
This is another interesting perspective. I was thinking that it’s just a programmer with very low salary and can work on any questions. With even super stupid questions.
