Trying to download/install/setup/use StableCode is worth it only if you want to learn all those steps as well. If what you care is the final result, just buy an existing service.
- arcanemachiner 3y agoI may put all my open source stuff on GitHub, but hell will freeze over before I willingly let Microsoft get a whiff of my private data, no matter how irrelevant it may be. GitHub Copilot sounds pretty neat though, I will admit that.
- hmottestad 3y agoI have bought into co-pilot, but I can’t say it’s that much of a productivity boost. More often than not it recommends something completely wrong. I guess it might be more useful if I did more spring boot or maybe hibernate. I’ve found chat gpt to be more helpful in general. I can paste some code in and have a discussion about what I want it to fix for me.
- fruit2020 3y agoI didn’t have a good experience with copilot. It was ok for some auto completions, but I found it very distracting to correct it many times when it didn’t do well. It’s like it interrupted my flow. Maybe there is a shortcut to enable it on demand rather than always on, but it wasn’t obvious in the Jetbrains plugin
- selfhoster11 3y agoYeah, why not upload all my employer's proprietary code to Microsoft? What could possibly go wrong? I get that consuming an API is far easier than setting up your own inference backend, but there are legitimate issues to consider before going in that direction.
