Did you already try GitHub Copilot? Curious to read your experience with it 🤔

Even for software development I found that it disturbs more than it helps. Because I have to know the topics, it is easier to write things myself instead of having to debug all the time especially, as you also point out, that Copilot uses outdated information. I personally wouldn't even use it if it would be completely free of any cost.

Congrats on 1 million of subscribers Nana and thanks for the video.

[swaraj_edtech]

Thank you very much Nana. Looking forward for more such content 👌

[tengdayz]

Thank you for your high EQ and IQ explanations. You're a gem!

[erionomeri]

Very nice, definitely learned a few new things! Nana Thank you!

[happyday.mjohnson]

I found it helped me learn new ways to do things. For example, I was coding a FastAPI endpoint in Python. I would not have thought of several of the code suggestions. This led me to back up and understand better ways to code (for example async) processes. So while I find it a bit annoying using copilot's code for the majority (it either turns out to be inefficient or misses a key feature), I do find it very useful to learn. It's like getting stackoverflow answers at my fingertips. Gaining the knowledge and replacing my code is not there yet.

Hi Nana, what an awesome video. Thanks a ton for this !
Could you please let me know the video editing tips for this video ? I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks in advance!

[myrachoantonio]

thank you for the amazing work, though i did notice some discrepancies in my programming copilot was not 100% accurate - i guess i have good idea now as to the why

[NeverCodeAlone]

Thx a lot for this great video and inspiration!!

I found that copilot depends on the task. It's great for localized dev tasks with limited langs like Python (it has the largest lib breadth, but is limited in paradigms/features and so copilot can handle it), or for straightforward tasks such as automation, web dev, etc. But it's horrific when I try it for complex tasks like real time or scientific code, or for more capable/feature full multi paradigm langs like C++. That's a very temporary limitation, and also the localized dev limitation, but that's the picture right now.

[godwinpinto]

Great videos. Thank you. Can you do a video on mono repo and release management

[piusokao]

Nana, thankyou so so much, would you also do a tutorial for Django

[iaroslavdavydiak]

Since Copilot is not the best choice for AWS cloud infra development because of an outdated knowledge base, any suggestions or recommendations of which tool is better to use for infrastructure development in AWS?
Has anyone tried AWS Codewhisperer? If yes, could you share your experience?

[adpj]

May I have a question about a testing network device project? The Kali Linux system might be a perfect tool for creating the test environment. Is the GitHub Copilot much faster for writing test program code on any platform? I mean, do you have classes to teach Kali?

[joshuaoyemusic]

Thanks so much for your video and breakdown. Was waiting eagerly to see what it looked like in the AWS console.

Thanks anyways ❤

[iam-raheem]

may be you should talk more about the security of this?

[muhammadusamaalvi]

Thinking from the security POV, your company most probably not want you to give all that code context to program.

Hi Nana, thank you for another new video
But im unable to get free trail / access until i add billing information and card, is there any other way to get free access for learners?
