https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/29/microsoft-github-copilot-ai-offers-coding-suggestions.html "GitHub, GitHub’s parent company Microsoft and OpenAI have teamed up to deliver a tool that comes up with source code for programmers to use as they work. The system can make recommendations in almost any programming language, although it works best with the popular JavaScript, Python and TypeScript languages." Curious about [github] engineers' real experience with github's co-pilot tool. For instance, how much code can the tool actually "auto-complete" and what type of code (eg. API boilerplate code, or complex logic)?
Just as unlikely as: Will pilots lose their jobs to programmers?
The tool is designed to facilitate easier integration with open source libraries. More like an upgraded version of intellij/eclipse Hardly think it will take any jobs.
Not until co-pilot becomes auto-pilot.
Question will become more relevant in 2100
Nice. Does copilot get fed data from GitHub?
This is nothing more than a fancy search and copy from stackoverflow or smart code completion. It cannot really produce a better code than curated examples
How do you know that?
Because Google who is ahead of GitHub in AI would at least fire tons of their vendors if AI could consistently produce better code than an average engineer
Probably in f500 companies with dumbass MBAs thinking they're CTO
They are trying it with low code right now.
Can it solve LC hards?
Lol. It in fact can: https://youtu.be/FHwnrYm0mNc
Good thing I'm not a programmer, I'm a software engineer 😎
What are you doing in ibm?
Programming lol
