I haven't used it yet. I believe when people say that it's the future of development and that every dev will have to use it or be left behind, but I can't fathom how people are comfortable sending every iteration of their code to a big tech corporation. I can't wait to see the day where we can run such solutions in our personal computers (or personal cloud servers), but I feel that, in 2022, this type of tool is not yet worth the risk. I hope this is just a temporary obstacle in our way to our future AI-assisted programming.

- TillE 4y agoFor private business code, yes? Of course. It's very easy to host your own GitLab server if you need a fancy web interface, and even easier to just put Git anywhere if you don't.
- haolez 4y agoVersion control is probably the easiest thing to self host for both individuals and enterprises, but that's still very different from Copilot. A Git service provider will have access only to what I choose to push, but Copilot gets access to what I'm TYPING. It's scary, at least for me.
