Don't fall into the trap of: It has to be the best or it is useless.
The question for me is: Does it help me get my job done. Does it assist me in ways I find useful.
- rf15 3y agoI have been using github copilot for a while now, but when I first tested these, together with the code AI offering from Amazon, they were... kinda useless. Only after a few updates did it get to a point that was a net positive in my daily work. And I still occasionally check the local models, and they're still not on a level in their auto-complete capabilities that I'd like to use, at least last time I checked. But I work with other LLMs and the recent advances in speed and the stricter nature of code means that soon-ish we should have a good and fast local model, we're just not there yet.
- ilc 3y agoI don't use them for auto-complete that may be the difference. I use them for various other things. Tests, etc. I don't find them 100% accurate. But it beats writing it from scratch.
