I hope I never again have to work on a codebase/language where copilot would be worth subscribing to.

I hope I never again have to work on a codebase/language where copilot would be worth subscribing to.
- Micoloth 4y agoYes this is the the whole point of this Unfortunately, there is no way I can hope for that much… So yes, please, take my money and do All my boilerplate lol
- lloydatkinson 4y agoUnnecessary hate. I used it a while ago while writing some complex aggregation and grouping of data. It was pretty painful to write until I tried with Copilot and the result is both accurate and easy to read. I wrote unit tests and it's been fine ever since. This is but one example of the value of it. I am sure some of the typical cynicism here will turn this into a protracted argument of "well maybe you shouldn't be a shit developer and you would be able to fit all the complexity in your head" but whatever.
- haolez 4y agoI don't think the parent was criticizing Co-pilot. The point was that codebases that need a lot of boiler plate and predictable code are not fun to work with.
- xcskier56 4y agoNonsense. I've been using it to write tests, and it does a phenomenal job. If I write out the positive case, it will suggest the negative case and help me through the various permutations. This has by-far been the most useful part of co-pilot so far. It's nothing I couldn't do myself, but just makes my job that much easier and quicker
- tamrix 4y agoMaybe try property based testing instead?
- baby 4y agoWhat does that even mean? It's like saying, "I would hate working on a codebase where autocomplete would help me". It's such a general statement.
