I feel like Charlie Gordon from Algernon with and without Copilot. Literally 10x faster development. Case in point: had an unexpected project and no time to complete it. Within an hour Copilot helped me: * Write a couple of tricky matplotlib plots * Do some extensive analysis with Pandas * Write a couple of SQL queries * Write a Flask back-end and deploy it * Write a bit of a front-end * This all with extra comments , links to documentation and pretty reasonable style I have experience with all of the above mentioned but the speed increase was considerable. This would a a good day's work without Copilot and there would be less commenting and hackier code. Before Copilot I would be cursing a lot more reading various docs... The key thing that Copilot does it reduces latency for your thoughts-action-results loop. Does the open source really suffer if less people read documentation directly? Would you really be less likely to create an open source library if you knew someone can now use your library at 10x speed? The inference ability has crossed uncanny valley so many times. I find myself wondering whether there is a speech recognition component at times. When teaching a lecture I will start saying something and write a prompt at the same time and the sentence produced by Copilot will be spot on what I've just said. Ideally there would an open source version of Copilot that respects everyone's wishes. I fear that is impossible.
