Oddbean new post about login | logout Results from using #Github #Copilot so far: Coding - modest improvement in the areas where Copilot is useful (boilerplate, low-level implementation, things I would have used SO for) - perhaps 25% decrease in time spent. Writing (yes, it has started suggesting in my asciidoc files as well): Zero increase in speed, but an increase in quality - as I look at what it's proposing and think: "Good Lord, I can do better than *that*". 1/
In short, a useful tool, although not as useful to me as I suspect it will be to others, b/c I don't spend a lot of time doing the sort of coding that it can help with anymore. I'll glad take the increase in writing quality it's giving me, but anyone who claims that this is going to put programmers, especially senior ones, out of a job simply doesn't know what they're talking about. /2
