How do people find it compared to copilot?

• erikhopf 4y ago
  There are VS Code and JetBrains extensions, it's part of the AWS Toolkit (can be a bit hard to find). https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codewhisperer/latest/userguide/setting-up.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codewhisperer/latest/userguide/s...

    Sorry if my question was misleading - I mean how good/bad do they find it compared to copilot. (Not how do they search for it).

      You can search in Blind - it’s fairly behind and the gap would probably be bigger over time.

  It was just announced, so any opinions on this would be uninformed.

    Nah it's been available in VS Code for a year or two in "beta".

      Yes, but this is a new release including a bunch more languages, and thus I assume better functionality.

        Used it for weeks internally, finally gave up after deciding it I more than once felt the day's use was a net productive loss even when working with internal Amazon packages (that it should have had a training advantage on vs copilot). Terrible UX and copilot really has just miles more intelligent suggestions. Tried it for a bit this morning with the "newest" release and didn't immediately observe any improvement, though this is far from objective of course.
