Thirty-one years ago, a small group of programmers created a product that Microsoft, even during its most aggressive embrace-and-extend phase, could not snuff out.
I read through the Twitter thread! CoPilot is so fascinating. As someone who dabbled with a tool that "tried to be Jarvis" a few years ago, I think there are spaces for that type of tech (especially if switching to a new language), but it's a long way from mission-critical readiness.
An interesting question in my mind is whether CoPilot will run into similar problems as true self-driving, where everyday edge cases like rain, fog, and unexpected road obstacles hold it back for years, or if it can get as good as Google voice recognition, where unless I'm spitting out twisty chemical names, it's quite accurate.
Microsoft does seem to be on developers' side generally now, even with some missteps :-)
It's quite helpful and nice, certainly worth trying, especially while it's free till September. Just be careful with adding code from it to work stuff until the licensing issues are figured out.
Had some thoughts on this recently as well. This resulted in a minor Twitter thread here: https://twitter.com/llbbl/status/1546502737378136065

Fixed it, thank you!
