GitHub Copilot X Explained | A big step forward...

A few days ago, GitHub released news of an upgrade to GitHub Copilot called GitHub Copilot X. With a new chat feature, PR ecosystem AI, CLI support, Voice coding, and integration with maintainer-written documentation, this is going to be a game-changer.

With all the talk of ChatGPT and GPT-4, I feel we're missing out on the specific focus and cutting-edge innovation by Microsoft and its Copilot software.

In this video, I want to walk you through the following:

1. How GitHub Copilot is making developers everywhere happy and
2. What is GitHub Copilot X and what features is it bringing to the table.

We'll look at all the new features in detail with examples.

There isn't a set GitHub Copilot X release date yet nor a pricing announcement. GitHub Copilot pricing is $10/mo for individuals and for businesses $19 per user per month. GitHub Copilot X requires an active GitHub Copilot license to get on the waitlist.

Let's discuss in the comments!

I think what a lot of people might have missed is Copilot voice and what it does for people with disabilities. I have been using speech to text myself a lot for long essays and assignments, The amount of work it took for me to code was one of the reasons I never got into it, but I literally just did a 180 right after the copilot voice announcement. And I'm going to get back into computer science.

This is a godsend for people writing workflows to automate business tasks. I also translated an old project into Python from C#. I freaking love it.

[BroJJ]

I am a teacher that is burnt out front the classroom and I am looking to switching careers and getting into coding. This video is worth its weight in gold!!! Thank you sir!!!

[gregd]

Duuuude, THAT is how you make an informational video! vast majority of these kinda vids i don't make it through and waiting for AI to knock them out. Yours adds value and is "tight". Two things most "talking heads" miss in a big way. Keep up the great work.

[Harpoika]

I've coded a bit as a kid and done a career and business in other technical fields having never need to code anything. I understand the basics though and now with the AI tools I'm coding away things some useful little things I could not have even dreamt of in the beginning of December -22. 🤯

This will definitely change the way we develop

[Eric_Kabucha_]

Great job Travis. I understood everything so well. Microsoft needs to pay you for this. Thank you.

17:35 - "AI is something that developers will need to embrace. If you don’t embrace it you’re going to fall behind and you’re going to be replaced. All of this here is to enable us to be more efficient; to keep is from burning out and to enable us to do a better job."

[richardneville]

Started using it yesterday, absolute game changer

[spenceragain]

Travis, WHAT is that music in the outro lol?!! I must hear more!

I am thrilled to have discovered your channel a few weeks ago. I'm even older than you (lol) and something about the way you phrase things and your tone has been clicking with me. It just feels like, "this is the guy I've been searching for, for a few YEARS now!" It's renewing hope and excitement for me that had been waning for some time.

Thank you VERY much for what you do. It's making a big difference.

Wow... This video actually had a calming effect on me about the topic... That brush effect that transformed the code into readable If/elsif/else statements was my favorite feature. I'm working through you AWS and Python outline right now and this was a nice break.

[alansmithee]

AI will be great for Indie development I think.
It's very difficult for solo/small group projects to get of the ground because of the time sink game development requires, and the potential for burnout after working on a project for so long leading to them never finishing.
AI can potentially speed up the development process, making it easier to finish before running out of money, or before you get bored of the project.

No to mention many of those "replaced" by AI may move on to becoming Indie devs as a result of no longer being able to pursue employment in game development.

How do I popup the chat window? I signed up the trial and installed extension, but don't know how to use it...

[rutpshah]

This will no doubt helps devs but devs will tend to remember things less which in turn will give hardtime in clearing coding interviews to get new jobs. Developers' thinking ability will be reduced drastically. It is normal human tendency that when easy solutions are available then poeple take it rather than spend time in thinking more robust or creative solution.

[EdwinFairchild]

I use copilot, but I wonder should i remove intellisense or any code completion extensions on vs code, i feel there might be some contention there on who is trying to suggest and display things on the editor?

[tak]

I have been experimenting with copilot in my personal learning projects. I am curious if people use these tools at their companies? What are the privacy concerns as far as a company's trade secrets/code ownership?

[VectorAlphaSec]

the thing to understand is this is literally only the beginning. The technology will improve significantly as time goes on. And in time it will be able to fully replace programmers/ Developers. When will that be? maybe 10 months? 1 to 2 years? or max 5. But eventually it will. This is AI were talking about. Its the only technology known to man that has the power and capability to surpass humans.

[PhanDung-tyzq]

Hello, thanks for video, ah, what micro you're using for record? Thank you

[agustinperes]

I agree with you but at the same time we cannot look the other way. This is monopolization of the entire software development workflow. Till this point you had a bunch of companies who competed for each of those markets, and they employed testers, fullstack devs, q & a, designers. It’s obvious that this will wipeout all those companies and devs working to solve this issues.
For a senior it will be easier and faster to write what he needs instead of giving the tasks to some other human being, or meeting with them to explain what they need. Where you had 10 companies, employing devs, accountants, and some other staff, now you will have just one big tech company eating all the cake. I wonder how much time until they realize they are gonna wipe out the ones that were consuming and paying for their products 😂

[hatonafox]

Really great walk through of the announcement.
