Depends on how you want to show your bias. I've worked with some interesting front end applications that made their moderately complex backends look like trivialities, and I've seen whole teams of mostly useless CRUD API develop

Copilot is a huge time and typing saver for manipulating data, richly autocompleting logging messages, mocking out objects and services in tests, etc. If you're only expecting it to solve your hard problem completely and from scratch e

Seems like Google might have the advantage, with all of YouTube to mine.

Besides the advertising, it's very close to being a drop-in replacement but their pace isn't closing that gap quick enough (or maybe they don't want to, or it isn't possible, idk I'm just a user) so you get a fals

OpenTable references restaurants tables and times that are still open to be reserved. What contextual definition of "open" does OpenAI have? A website open to subscribers?

It hasn't been updated in 7 years. I'm willing to believe it's an abandoned project that didn't see the desired traction to justify gold plating it.

Where did you pull 10% from then? That also seems like you're reaching up your ass. As with all of these arguments, context matters. Both of you need to say what you're doing with these tools. I've personally found the combin

I also generally distrust and dislike Microsoft and have no affiliation with them but I just don't see how you made the leap to introducing Microsoft to the conversation in the first place. It just sounds like you have an axe to grind

Both parties would feel like they're dodging a bullet. People still griping about $TODAYS_HOT_JS_FRAMEWORK are clearly out of touch in 2023. It was funny commentary in 2013. It still rang a little true until around 2016. Now it's
