I would really love to see that. So far, all I've seen is cookie cutter code to reduce a bit of typing time. Everything else was more or less hot garbage that just stood in the way of typing. Maybe in a few iterations or years. So far, personally, I haven't seen anything useful. Not saying there isn't anything, just that I haven't seen any use and code offered by it stank. Is there a demo of someone using it to showcase this game-changing power?
- SamPatt 3y agoIt surprises me to hear this. Have you used it as I described by writing a descriptive comment first then waiting to see its response? I only noticed it getting good at this after I was somewhat far along on a project, so I assume it requires an overall knowledge of what you're trying to do first.
- armchairhacker 3y agoCopilot only writes boilerplate, it can't really handle anything non-trivial. But I write a lot of boilerplate, even using abstraction and in decent programming languages. A surprising amount of code is just boilerplate, even just keywords and punctuation; and there's a lot of small, similar code snippets that you could abstract, but it would actually produce more code and/or make your code harder to understand, so it isn't worth the effort. Plus, tests and documentation (Copilot doubles as a good sentence/"idea" completer when writing).
