What's the benefit of using copilot over a package manager? Both help you reuse code that's already been written, but using packages gives you updates, explicit dependency tracking, documentation, etc.
- LelouBil 4y agoI don't think you've ever tried copilot. It's amazing at specific things, like being z context aware boilerplate generator or doing the scaffolding of an algorithm from a comment describing it. That's really different than using libraries.
- keithnz 4y agoit's not about reusing code, it's about generating code, ie, autocomplete, except the generator trys to recognize what you are trying to / most probably writing and suggests it. Great for boilerplate type code.
