I have been using copilot for two months and I find it more annoying than useful, am the only one that feel like this?, I also used tabnine, and it gives a lot of syntax errors in rust, so I could barely use it for a week. I definitely can agree that copilot is better than tabnine, but I feel like writing code is the easy part of programming, and copilot doesn't offer a crazy help to justify the monthly payment and that my private code is uploaded to Microsoft servers. Not only that, but I find that my IDE suggestion are good enough most of the time.
Yeah I was going to post this. I did some coding the other day and it kept spitting out code that looked right but was calling functions that didn't exist. It also competes with IntelliJ's auto-complete making things doubly irritating.
I leave it disabled more often than it's enabled, unless I'm doing something simple like wanting to copy a file, which in Go is stupidly obtuse.
I use it with python and vscode, it's great there. Sure, half the stuff it makes isn't correct, or nearly correct, but it's very close, and I just need to change a little here or there.
It also does a fantastic job of filling in method parameters from my local variables, again not 100% of the time, but 90% of the time it nails it.
I'm not sure how it would be done, there might not even be enough existing code to train it on, but I would like to try out Copilot for code-based CAD models in something like OpenSCAD. I've never tried it at all, but thanks for sharing your experience, all.
