Copilot X Is Here and I Just Tried It in VS Code

Are you curious about the next generation of AI tools for code generation? Introducing Copilot X, an advanced enhancement to the well-regarded GitHub Copilot. This video offers a detailed exploration of the capabilities and use cases of Copilot X and its key component, Copilot Chat.
As an evolved iteration of GitHub Copilot, Copilot X brings new potential for generating larger portions of code, refactoring classes and methods, and providing coverage with unit tests. It demonstrates how AI is increasingly shaping the landscape of programming and code development.
Witness firsthand how Copilot X interacts seamlessly with Visual Studio Code and learn about its context-aware conversation feature, a remarkable tool that lets you refine requirements until you reach an acceptable portion of generated code.
Please note that, despite the impressive capabilities of Copilot X and Copilot Chat, they do not replace the vital role of a developer in writing code. Rather, they serve as powerful allies, aiding in efficiency and accuracy.
Join me in this video to discover how Copilot X and Copilot Chat can contribute to your programming toolkit. Explore their unique features and learn how to integrate them into your development process.

👨 About Me 👨
Hi, I’m Zoran, I have more than 20 years of experience as a software developer, architect, team lead, and more. I have been programming in C# since its inception in the early 2000s. Since 2017 I have started publishing professional video courses at Pluralsight and Udemy and by this point, there are over 100 hours of the highest-quality videos you can watch on those platforms. On my YouTube channel, you can find shorter video forms focused on clarifying practical issues in coding, design, and architecture of .NET applications.❤️

"I'm trying to be polite to machines, because once they take over. They might leave me alive." based lmao.

[MatthewM]

Don't mess with the Zoran!
"They might leave me alive" Made me laugh! :D

[stephenthumb]

note the preview version does not allow copilot to read your project code, it's just a chatbot window. you need the pre-release version for that, which as the OP noted, you need insiders to use. not sure if it's mentioned in the video but jic.

[LuizADRMarques]

I got it a couple of weeks ago, it worked well enough for me. Support seems surprisingly good, too - the VS version wasn't able to add a file from the chat UI, but the VS Code was, I mentioned that in my review and they answered it a few days later, mentioning that the latest version added it.

There's so much brilliance and entertainment in this video!

[shoebsd]

Thanks for this one :). I agree, how important it is to specify the requirements well and that's where prompt engineering is so important

[ms]

8:46 is the best programming advice I ever heard. Jokes aside, the conclusion is good: sometimes it's more expensive to get the tool to do it for you, it's easier to just do it yourself.

[meathead]

Thank you for this great overview of Copilot, saved me lots of time.

[pataka]

Wkkwkwk so entertaining. I tried copilot for several days. The more we give detail to it, the result will get closer to what we meant.

[aosamai]

Excellent series of videos Zoran, many thanks for this thorough effort

[kdub]

new to coding...these AI Tools are changing the game!

[surfreadjumpsleep]

i think a good way to use these tools is to have them write specific functions. but the organization and layout is more up to you.

[nickbarton]

Nice, I'm enjoying your humour, I think it brightens the content.
I'm waiting for the next video to check that the machine didn't reach out from the screen and grab you by the throat.

I'd really like to see a demo of creation of a rich domain model using CoPilot X, to see if it can help generate declarative LINQ statements, extension methods with chain of responsibility pattern.
Asking too much?

[brandomiranda]

For me the chat window still doesn't appear even after using vscode insider. Help? What is required?

[Luther_Luffeigh]

Curious how long were you in the waitlist?

[jdavid]

BE AWARE if you haven't paid for copilot yet, you need to know that you DON'T get instant access to Copilot Chat immediately after you join the technical preview. In the video it feels like you get instant access but you don't as he mentioned in the video he signed up for tecnnical preview a while ago, but it looks/feels instant, so be aware that even if you pay you will have to wait until you get an email telling you you've been accepted

[codingbloke]

Thanks, I'm on the waiting list already, just limping along with current Co-pilot right now in VS2022. I'm undecided whether its more helpful to me than the built in intellisense which is very good. Where before I would type a few characters and tab to accept the simpler but usually on point suggestion from intellisense, I now see larger chunks of code which is often not what I want. Hence I have to keep typing. On average I suspect I can write the code I want faster with intellisense than I can by occasionally accepting Co-pilot's larger offerings.

[bambanx]

i tried with insiders but not working, the chat is not displaying

[Jorsten]

Is copilot really worth it when you already have access to gpt 4? You don't have to copy your code, so that's one advantage.

[Dreamslol]

I have acces too Copilot, but is that really GPT-4 ?
