Copilot is wonderful, when you use it appropriately. It autocompletes and has a lot of good knowledge of the code.
I had interview that usually lasts an hour and people don't get to do all the code, I did it in 15 minutes or so mostly because I knew what needs to happen and code was autocompleted quickly as I would start writing.
It really helps you focus on what you want to do and don't have to think about syntax or correct variable name.
You still need to be a good developer, but it helps you greatly to do your work.
- lolinder 5y ago> I had interview... I'm curious to know more about this story. A job interview? Did the interviewer know you used copilot and not care?
- desireco42 5y agoYeah, so they came up with 5 point problem that get progressively more difficult. I heard from recruiter that previous candidates didn't do more than 2 or 3 of those. He did notice that my autocomplete is somewhat magical. I fully explained him what this is, I believe he didn't completely understand and kept talking about some other plugin which I think is some kind of intelisense. Like I said, even with me being chatty (I go on tangent often), I was done with all 5 in record time, managed to do refactoring of last 2, all thanks to Copilot. I don't think in any point Copilot did something I didn't intend, but it did complement me fantastically. Hope you enjoy this story.
