sorry if i was unclear, by "real productivity" i meant something that requires more creativity than copypasting stackoverflow/copilot to your code, not measured in "lines of code" but rather in how much it is unique. Highly subjective, yes...
- elil17 4y agoRight, but the idea is that copilot frees up more of your time for the creative part. That is what I have found in practice.
- yunohn 4y ago> rather in how much it is unique IRL a lot of what people do is rehashing or gluing together things as others may have done before. We all stand on the shoulder of giants - code is a tool to enable an outcome. I don’t agree with your definition of “code uniqueness is productivity”.
- jwhiles 4y agoWhat's the reason to think that it reduces the amount of creative code that's written. Doesn't it just let you get through the copypastable stuff faster - all things being equal I'd assume it means you spend more time on the creative parts.
- dagw 4y agoCopilot lets me get the 'boring' scaffolding work out of the way quicker so I can spend more time on the parts of my project that actually are hard and 'unique'.
