GitHub Copilot Review 2023: I Love It, But It’s Not For Everyone

The video features a speaker sharing their experiences with GitHub Copilot, an AI-powered coding assistant. They emphasize how GitHub Copilot has revolutionized their coding process, particularly in boosting efficiency and reducing time spent on mundane tasks like writing boilerplate code or creating helper functions. Practical examples provided include generating code for a list of U.S. states and writing database API calls. GitHub Copilot is praised for its ability to predict and generate useful code snippets, streamlining the coding workflow.

However, the speaker points out that while GitHub Copilot is a boon for experienced developers seeking increased productivity, it might not be the best fit for beginners. They stress the importance of newcomers understanding coding fundamentals and gaining practical experience before relying on such advanced tools. The video concludes by positioning GitHub Copilot as a transformative tool for seasoned developers but advises novices to prioritize building a strong coding foundation before integrating these advanced tools into their practices.

  1. Hey bro I’m thinking of doing como sci in college but I don’t want to live in the city lol after college .Is there any ways to get good paying jobs outside the city? Or a job in the city being a software engineer but not live in the city ?

    1. I think there are plenty of remote job opportunities for you to not be in a city.

    2. ​@@YourAverageTechBro is it mostly senior engineer positions for remote jobs? At least thats what im seeing on linkedin

    3. ​@@thehariskupusthe smaller the company, the easier it is to get remote positions.

      Studies have shown that on-site engineering has a big benefit over remote when you have dozens of people collaborating on the same project. Time zone differences and unstable video calls really make remote work unfeasible in these scenarios. Outside of that, remote work either makes no difference in or Improves productivity.

      So if you’re shooting for FANG companies then you’ll probably have a harder time. If you’re not a senior, it’s almost impossible. But if you’re open to startups and mom and pop shops, you’ll be fine finding remote work.

    4. @bobsyerunkle5638 lol good contribution to the conversation. Though, I fear you missed the point.

  2. Hey YATB , I’m thinking about using GHCP, but I’ve heard that the AI is limited past a certain number of lines of code. That it won’t remember the context of the code at a certain point and will not be able to write more code based on earlier code. Do you know if this is so? Thanks.

  3. it is not annoyinjg tasks, those simple tasks are easy money. Annoying tasks are which are not easy 🙂 So without those simple tasks, all our work time will be hard 🙁

  4. whats ur guys pick with chatgpt+ vs copilot? ive been using gpt4 to do all of my boilerplate and helping debug, but have been holding off copilot until x comes out

  5. I tried and canceled in two weeks, it is very distracting and making you lazy.

  6. Jesus why haven’t you got half a million subscribers… subscribed man.

  7. You are right, but.. what I feel these tools are going to destroy new gen developer’s critical thinking power…😇
