If you use the Copilot Chat extension you basically get ChatGPT in your IDE except it can open and reference files in your project. I get Copilot free as a student and actually have to pay for ChatGPT as I only use Model 4. Either way I use them both everyday, and are both great tools for different use cases.

Feb 10, 2024 · TabNine does everything Copilot does, but better, and a bunch more stuff too. If there's a price difference, it's worth it at a whopping $10/mo. They should comp my subscription because I've converted every single person who used to use Copilot in my sphere.

Feb 25, 2024 · I use it at work. I'd say definitely worth it for 10$/month. The way I see it, it bumps up productivity a bit when doing boilerplate stuff like logging funcs or writing better comments. In other words it helps at the most boring stuff of programming. Considering it costs like one half-an-hour of work it is a no brainer.

It's worth it to me (copilot), the efficiency gains are worth my while. Don't expect it to write whole bug free apps for you, but if you use it right it gets pretty good at reading your mind and suggesting fairly good code. I refactor the suggestions occasionally and it actually does an ok job suggesting fixes for itself too.

May 8, 2024 · Local language servers are faster. Copilot unpredictable - sometimes short prompts, sometimes while functions. Personal thoughts: I personally use copilot to break into flow. If I'm not sure what I need, I can get copilot to fill in the blanks with two or three keystrokes, saving me between 10-50 inputs at a time.

Jun 14, 2023 · CoPilot in the other hand is autocomplete functionality for an actual programmer. It’s not great for writing complete code blocks, functions or classes for you but it is great if you know already what you are doing and want to save time and expensive key strokes. CoPilot is also hallucinating sometimes and giving you completely nonsense code.

Copilot is based on Codex model which is based of GPT3 model that also powers ChatGPT, simply its trained only on code so it speaks only code. So essentially it is the same just trained differently. Biggest diffrence is that Codex gets stright to the point while sometimes ChatGPT being too much descriptive Codex also adapts to the rest of your ...

Oct 2, 2022 · Like instead of you having to comment manually copilot should be smart enough to generate comments from the context of the project when asked by the user. Like I highlight a the function name and use a keybind to make copilot write a few sentences about what the function does in the context of the whole project. Same with documentation.

Nov 13, 2022 · Github Copilot is amazing if you know how to use it (that mostly means writing good comments for it) It shines the most when writing boilerplate, tests and simple algos - but if your code base is on the bigger side it can get sometimes really impressive.

videos about Copilot from all the YT techbros. But when I try to use it in my workflow, I'm just not feeling it. First of all, that "Write an express boilerplate" in a comment (each techbro had a video about that) just doesn't work as copilot seems to only generate multi-line suggestions in method scope and it seems I'm not the only one.
