I knew it's doomed when the only good news is that we have another js framework

Is it just me, or this Code Report series keeps getting better and better...

"Write a bunch of crap code to throw off the AI" LOL That was without a doubt one of the first things that went through my head when I first learned about CoPilot and started digging into how it worked.

The removal of Heroku's free plan is going to be very hard to swallow. I've been using Heroku for a long time and it pains me that this is happening.

Copilot sounds like the scariest application of AI ever created. You're basically being part of the training model that helps software write software. You're literally accelerating the singularity. Which is a good thing, my AI overlords of the future. Did I write scary? I meant exciting. I love it! We should all use copilot.

You're right, Free Tiers exist only to drive growth. Once a platform hits a plateau where growth and/or conversion rates (to paid products) stagnate, then the free tier gets the axe because at that point its not generating new customers and the overhead cost of maintaining a free tier is no longer justifiable.

I agree with the notion of co-pilot making you "stupider", I stopped using it for that particular reason. Even if you're a professional musician you still need to practice your scales from time to time. Co-pilot allowed me to turn off too much of my brain and I felt like it was actively making me a worse programmer as a result.

0:45 I like how he shows how difficult it can be to SELECT code from stack overflow 🤣

I love the extra few beats that the "selecting text from stack overflow" took. Spot on.

github should complete the stack and allow hosting backend with their webpages 😂😂

My biggest problem with copilot is the insane amount of GPL violations and not wanting to deal with the eventual fallout when it infringes Linux kernel or MySQL source code copyrights and the ensuing court case makes everyone liable.

Bro that last line is absolute gold. One of my most recent usages was "// check if the variable is a datetime using regex" and it spat out a lovely jest-matching function. Though I've been using it extensively since I could get the trial, and purchased as soon as I needed to.

2030 hiring be like: "Minimum of 4 years work experience using Github Copilot" because coding and understanding the code is so 2022.

When I used CoPilot with I wrote valid python code that looked like this: one = 2; two = 1; \ three = 4; \ four = 3; \ five = 6

I think the simplest solution is to never accept a CoPilot suggestion you don't understand in detail yourself.

0:58 the animation regarding the flat-earthers was first of its kind that i have ever seen

I'm working as a consultant with many different projects and tech stacks on a daily basis. Having copilot when swapping between tech stacks that frequently is a blessing since i don't have to look up something every time.

Dude these code review videos are really getting better and better, absolutely love it 💪

Always on point, keep up the good work

I didn't see the ending comming. Made me a good laugh. Thanks.

"...but right now it feels a lot like we're paying Microsoft for the privilege of digging our own graves." I laughed out so loud :D Thank You!!!

As someone that has been self learning web development for about a year now my experience with copilot was quite an eye-opener for me. Couple months ago I was working on implementing carting functional for my eCommerce side project. Around that time co-pilot had just released and I thought I'd give it a shot. Installed Zustand and began making my cartStore state. Co-pilot literally breezed through the code implementation and all I had to do was press the spacebar to get fulling working cart state functionality in my project. I was genuinely amazed. Then i fucked up my git commits and had to redo the cart functionality a couple weeks back. This was after the announcement that co-pilot would no longer be free so I decided I'd build it myself. At first I was really coming down on myself and telling myself I was stupid because I had no idea where to even start so I slept on it and tackled it the next day. After some much needed rest from the stress of fucking up my commits and serious imposter syndrome, I completed the functionality within 10 mins with extra features that I thought up along the way which copilot hadn't suggested. I soon came to realize the main thing that made me want to do software development for the rest of my life. It was a feeling. A feeling that I realized I never felt after implementing the feature in copilot. I don't know the name but it's the feeling of building/making something yourself. That sweet satisfaction of working hard on something then seeing it finally work the way you intended it to work. My reaction to both situations were: With copilot - Oh shit that was sick. Now I can move on to another feature. Building it myself - Oh my fucking goodness I'm a genius. I don't even need the damn AI tf. After that experience my moral got a serious boost like never before. We developers don't need all this AI assistant bs. It takes away what it means to be a developer/engineer.

Just got a Ad called AWS "free" tier. Ironic.

these videos really do bring enjoyment to my week

For me, it's so not ethical to use the data of public repositories to create an AI with a Paywall. But funny video as always :D

*Laughs in my oracle always free while struggling to create an arm instance*

That NaN/Null/Undefined meme at 3:08 is awesome!

This video was so COOL!! Congrats!

"We're paying Microsoft for the privilege of digging our own graves." That's an amazing sentence. But also sad reality.

Well, you know what they say : a true master is an eternal student. *smug grin*

Really got me with the js seg fault

One of the best Code Reports yet.

I recall when Sears brilliantly decided to charge a few bucks for the traditionally-free catalog. Even though you would get a credit on your first order, many people decided not to get one. History shows how that worked out for the once-mighty company. Unix wasn’t free, now there’s Linux. Sears charged for the catalog, now there’s Amazon. Free offering = Survival in many cases.

Tried copilot. It's more fun than useful. If it generates a lot of code and there's a bug, you'll loose even more time then if you were to do it yourself.

This channel has no business being this good

if that entire video wasn't enough memes and giggles for me, the ending with the dancing copilot face coupled to Britney killed me LOL

I use Copilot to teach myself TBH. I know some languages very well, still Copilot sometimes amazes me by its suggestions. I learn from that, get inspired from the creativity, and move forward. That's the way I use Copilot, and it makes me better and better.

The John McAfee part got me😂😂

fireship is 100% my favorate youtube tech channel! absolutely fucking hillarious

That Star Wars segment was hilarious

I did reply no to the Copilot poll, not because of the cost that I find pretty reasonable actually. It’s just that I think we should all try to reduce the amount of data we feed to companies like Microsoft

1:31 I've been doing this for years! Knew my mission (and coworker suffering) would not be in vain.

I started watching these videos, cause they're informative. But now I'm all in for the comdedy 🤣

This has to be possibly the BEST channel for upcoming/experienced programmers. The videos are super concise and informative, not to mention how well the humor ties in to each topic. Probably my favorite editing/video style.

I'm only using copilot to add log statements (log4j) in my code anyways, saves me time writing logs :)

I feel Copilot had not justified its price for me. It can be helpful when you have some very specific problem you have no experience with. It might help you quickly rewrite some code into idiomatic one-liners. Or it might turn even the simplest things into an antipattern-ridden bug nest. The bugs it creates compile, get brought up only under specific circumstances, and are difficult to debug. I'd rather waste an afternoon learning how Qt meta-compiler works or get stuck writing RegExp than pay to use the product built on stealing open-source code.

Thank you for not doing the flashing in the intro

the end, LEGENDARY

Tabnine AI Code has a free tier. Initially it only had a paid one, then allowed for a free tier to be used. It's not on the level of copilor, however it does understand the structure and usage of code in the project a lot better than copilot usually does. Recommended :) Personally, I just use both together. (Tabnine also works partially without internet connection)

I laughed when he called me a liar for saying no to paying 10$/month for copilot... I'm mainly on the fence about copilot atm it's nice for things like boilerplate generation, but currently it just gets in the way too much, I'll probably wait till it matures a bit more before I start shelling out money for it.

The ending breaking news was damn funny.

Got the notification when least expected.

This is just painful.. How am I supposed to deploy my projects on the Internet now?! 💀

Contrary to the common belief: you can choose not share your code to copilot in the profile settings

Thanks for reminding about John Mcafee.

This was absolutely hilarious! You rock.

netlify also removed private repositories from free tier. 💔

Having a free-plan is not "free". The platform also have significant gains by allowing people to experiment and do small projects on it.

Thanks man👍

3:14 ever growing lists of javascript framworks

Replit is gonna take like 80% of the Heroku free tier user base imo

I was part of the Copilot closed beta about a year into things and qualify to use it for free thanks to GitHub's student perks, but I definitely won't be paying for Copilot once that's over.

Love the intentional "...I feel like it makes me more stupider..." lol!

In GMS screen select appes and then select Analog app 1 TE. That worked out for .

Tabnine is worth a try, and still has a free tier

1:09 You can actually disable that, and will be asked if you want to do so when you get Copilot

I love this channel. Quality stuff

Netlify also recently stopped free hosting for private packages.

I do love Copilot. I have it for free as a student, which is really awesome, but am unsure if I will want to purchase it in four years when developers hopefully still exist.

The javascript ecosystem is getting huge. waiting for a job posting that requires 10 years of experience with Enhance.😅😅

i put my card down day 1 and now ill pay for it. had beta access for a long time and too used to it now. its almost like emmett in my workflow now - i sometimes just write comments or well named functions that i know copilot will do well with instead of write code 😂 its so worth. edit long version - if u havent used it go use the trial and use it every day and see how useful this shit is. idk if its coz all my code is in gh but it learns my code patterns and even weird ass shortcode shit that i use on our site for content team and then it mirrors that later when it sees im doing the same thing. sometimes it suggests and finishes emmett autocompletes (this intitally felt like a bug since no emmett popup but use kb shortcut to open autocomplete box), and it is the same thing i was about to type, things i have typed before. its very good once it learns what you do all day. we make a lot more than 30p a day doing it too lol.

2:57 i will seriously just use for its logo 😻

I actually think the opposite would happen in case of heroku. A big player has just gotten off the game and it gives other small players a chance to start free tiers to hook people in.

The advantages of copilot are offset by you needing to constantly proofread what it generates. You’re trading one job for another.

Somewhere on the other side of the world, it's already September 3rd that I am watching this. 😉

Copilot and Heroku are gone, and ANOTHER FREAKING JAVASCRIPT FRAMEWORK. What a great way to start the weekend

I think someone is working on an open source, self hosted alternative, compatible with copilot

Hmmm… We might come to a full circle then. Owning a bare metal server is the safest solution, if you want full control of your data.

Since the samples for all the tutorial are the property of soft soft, you can't make any money from setuping them together for a ?

Your split second animation jokes are sooo gooood. Flat earthers lol

Instead of google stack overflow, you can always use captain stack

Copilot feels like it makes sense writing boilerplate for me, but as soon as anything gets even slightly non-trivial, the "success rate" of copilot dropped quickly for me. So no, I won't purchase it. I feel like boilerplate is best solved with templates, and I don't want some tool giving me random suggestions, which may or may not be correct.

thank you so so so much your a great person you helped

Just throwing an idea for you, but a Code Report podcast would be freaking great.

The fact that you have to pay for co-pilot, which isn't opensource but is only possible because of the hard work of everyone else who published their code as opensource already tells you what is really going on. Opensource only favours established organizations because they get free work done for them while the lone or small team developer gets nothing. Makerbot is an example of what is really going on. A version 1 that everyone worked on, then they manage to add some good features and all of a sudden, next version is closed. Also, let's not forget, microsoft owns it now, they will only care about profits and corporate interests.

Damn heroku removing the free tier is a huge hit for broke devs like me, gonna have to quickly find an alternative. Thanks for the heads-up jeff

I just love this channel

Fireship is 2nd to none. The John Macafee jokes made me laugh so hard

Copilot is absolutely goated. I don’t use it much for actual code, but generating python dicts or json for unit tests and it auto iterating through the keys to make all the edge cases as a individual tests is unbeatable

I tried Co-pilot for Dart/Flutter and C#, it succs a lot, then i tried Python 3 and JS/TS and it worked really well, too bad i don't use Python 3 and JS/TS in my work and personal apps, so it's worthless for me at the moment.

That Heroku news broke my heart

All this video was worth to see only for that Britney song in the end, what a legend is that woman

Unpopular Opinion but: I‘ll buy copilot, even if it’s only for personal Projects. I find it a really good resource for Programming because I check and try to understand every suggestion it gives me. Especially if you‘re working with a new library it saves you a lot of time. And this enables me to tackle projects that I would stay away from otherwise.

Can we take the time out to appreciate the comedic gold in the Code Reports? Generating humour in programming is nothing short of witchcraft

Music at the end tho😂😂

Co pilot has inserted the worst bugs into my code I’ve ever seen😂 I’m definitely not paying for that

Copilot is amazing 🥰 it's saving my lot's of time

I love how your videos are 100% fact!! Yet, hilarious asf😂😂😂

Thanks for these free videos

Copilot, even if it worked perfectly, would only be able to automate the easiest part of programming. Architecting apps that scale, talking to clients and choosing the right tools for their needs, doing performance optimizations on tight loops, this is something an AI doesn’t have the context to understand
