GitHub Copilot is an AI tool developed by GitHub and OpenAI to assist users of VS Code by autocompleting code.
It was first announced on 29 June 2021. It got quite a buzz on the launch.
Three months has since passed and I was wondering:
- Have you tried it and what are your impressions/thoughts?
- Do you see it as a must-have tool in your stack?

I can no longer code without Github Copilot
Thanks for the insight ππ
Just to share something I use Github Copilot from a week for Java Development and it is AWESOME. comapared to TabNine and everything else... this is so much better... it is absurdly awesome.
It is surprisingly good. It infers boilerplate regarding some functions. It needs A LOT of wrangling though.
Thanks for sharing ππ
Well I'm my personal case I'm not a senior dev and a master of any source, so copilot help me to write faster and with nice patterns even on html and like everyone say some times it resolve in none sense code
Thanks for sharing πβ€
Long it takes in wiatlist...
I quite like it for writing comments that describe code I've written rather than having it complete whole functions. I also sometimes use it as line completion.
Awesome! πThanks for the share πβ€
copilot is brilliant and all but unfortunately it uses up a lot of memory along with VS Code which makes me use it very very less often
or maybe my PC sucks.Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Did not know this, thanks for sharing π
Could you share you main PC specs? π
it's a 4 GB RAM and an Intel i3 processor. not too proud of it π
How does it handle Chrome? I remember I had a low spec PC back in time, and I used Firefox as it could handle multiple tabs better π
Chrome goes well most of the time, but yeah it takes about half a minute to start. Also, I prefer using Opera GX over it π
I used Opera for sume time in the past too, then FF and now Chrome π
Brave looks promising and lots of devs use it π
Well I have 4gb Ram & 3rd gen pentium
Sound promising. Can't wait to try on it.
I have ethical concerns over it so I have not.
I have never tried github copilot
