Copilot is good, but code completion has been a thing since the 90s, and even earlier. Fundamentally it's iterative.
I mean enabling use cases that simply were not possible before. For example LLMs themselves are groundbreaking, but I haven't seen anything enabled by them that's also groundbreaking.
- Our_Benefactors 3y agoCopilot is so much more than code completion. Have you used it?
- herval 3y agoany technology is iterative. There's no such thing as "completely new".
- tredre3 3y agoCopilot autocompletes comments too, which I've never seen in 30 years of experience. So that's a use case that was simply not possible before. eg I just type // above a block of code and the little guy will read my mind with a full comment.
- rvz 3y agoExactly. It's more evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
