I wonder how helpful GPT-3 and Copilot will be for this :) Not necessarily to solve the whole puzzle but rather to give hints when I'm stuck with a particular task.

- bbischof 4y agoHehe, I had the same question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33812666 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33812666

- nikolay 4y agoLast year when I was doing AoC in Go, I was pleasantly surprised how good Copilot is and it felt like magic. Given most of the time I use Terraform, YAML, JSON, jq, and Bash these days, I can't really appreciate Copilot, but last year I did!
- dagw 4y agoI ended up turning off Copilot last year since it was literally giving me complete correct solutions with no effort on my part. Kind of took the fun out of it.
- nikolay 4y agoI can't say it gave me complete solutions, but it really guessed my intent most of the time and saved me typing time so that I could come close to the winners who predominantly use Python.
- dagw 4y agoLast years I started around the 14th and Copilot auto completed the solutions for all the old problems from basically just the file name. I created a file called 'advent_of_code/1.py' typed 'def main()' and Copilot did everything else.
