GitHub Copilot is an amazing piece of technology, but I believe it should not be used always. Why? Let's discuss in this video. Leave a comment below on what you think about GitHub Copilot.

I stopped using GitHub co-pilot because, it's auto completion is so good, I was losing my own understanding of code , So heck to GC

This really wasn't good enough reasons... This is really no different to bad developers who do everything wrong without checking documentation or learning the language and frameworks that they are using. You can be a bad developer with or without copilot... Copilot just gives you some assistance.

I think while learning or practicing something disable copilot suggestions and enabling it while writing some boilerplate or obvious stuffs or something we know somewhat well boosts productivity and works as well..

I love the too. My greatest drawback is just when building something from the mind and the extension just makes you feel insuffiecient in your thought process as it tries to constrain you to look in only one direction. By this building custom stuff can be challenging. Sometimes its worth turning it off. Thanks for the video

Hi Yahh the video is great👍 I used copilot quite extensively and it always feels like I am cheating on myself whenever copilot gives the right suggestions that would cost me about 5min or so. What do you think should I buy it? I believe it saved a lot of my time and also gave me some suggestions that I would never have thought about.

Its good for beginners too if they know how to use it correctly most of my time i use it for .md files, regax, closing brackets, writing correct functions names, repeated codes...

Intellisense should be enough as a helper. Anything more than that you are just copy/pasting. Yes you help employers/companies build products faster but it doesn't help yourself in the long run. Beginners should always refer to official docs for reference. On a side note, Intermediate/senior devs should definitely use such ai tools for faster programming since they know the concepts already.

The potential to violate a software license's terms and conditions clauses represents another minefield. For example, most licenses have an attribution clause even if the license basically says, "do whatever you want with the source code or any portion thereof without restrictions." Copilot should be inserting an attribution comment in front of any code suggestion and the attribution automatically added to the inserted source code.

Stop practicing law without a license.

@@ohcrap789 I am stating a fact, not practising law. Naturally, it will take a copyright violator to sue another copyright violator because corporations are the only entities with sufficient financial resources in the modern legal system.

100% agreed. I was implementing this toolkit for instagram and I had my Copilot turned on. Man, every time I try to write some logic on my own, this shit throws me with this recommendation. The worst part is, we, developers hate reading each other's code. This piece of AI shit started throwing 20-30 lines of code which I'm too lazy to read and it almost destroyed my project. So guys, always be work on your skills, don't depend on those AI piece of crap.

This is not for me. I don't want to rely on AI, rather on skills. An for me it would feel like using a mobility scooter instead of walking on my own. In my opinion I would un-train my problem solving skills. Even if it takes longer it is worth it, because it is so satisfying if you figure something out on your own, while copilot, feels a bit like cheating. BTW I watched the video till the end - Greetings from Malaysia.
