First Look at GitHub Copilot in VS Code | Just Another AI Programming Tool?

GitHub recently announced GitHub Copilot. An AI pair programmer.

Github Copilot is powered by OpenAI and has been trained on billions of lines of public code.
It's AI-powered autocomplete on steroids. It tries to understand the context of your code including comments, function names, and variables. And it doesn't just complete single lines, it can also complete entire code blocks for you.

The GitHub Copilot technical preview is available as a Visual Studio Code extension.

The current languages that it works best with are Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, and Go.

A real coder will never be afraid of such tools. It is cool but will not be capable of giving production ready code. This tool can become best friend of Coders but won't at all replace 'em.

[BrickTamlandOfficial]

well if this gets popular, employers are just going to expect higher output

[tkimdev]

I played around with this thing... its incredible. I can write a comment to write something like a function of some sort and it does it.

I've been using this for a week now and I'm amazed by it. I can write a simple comment and it blows in the code for me. I don't think this will replace developers anytime soon, they of course need to verify the output. You'll be able to get more done in shorter time, and I think this could help newer programmers to learn faster. I'm an optimist :)

[maneeshrockx]

Things like this make me scare that in feature AI will rule the world...

[masterofthemash]

I dont know man this could be the one that replaces us soon

[iUmerFarooq]

Thank you for clearing our confusions ;)

[kirantechnophile]

Thanks for getting these new useful things.

[technoutopia]

Still a good time to learn programming?

[gbrachetta]

Copilot looks really good, but it prevents parens, braces and brackets from auto-closing, which is SO annoying.

[paulfrischknecht]

instead of you paying to use it eventually, Microsoft should pay you for using it. You are improving it for them afterall and probably, while using it, you waive all rights to all of the code in the editor, because it is all sent to the server

[AbdoTech]

Thanks for the updates, But why I think you are a little disappointed with this copilot? 😐😂

[jonahjohnbaba]

I have signed for this how do I know I have gotten access

[DS-pkeh]

Does this means that this AI went through all available source code on GitHub, learned from it, kind a linked comments and usual code that come after and now is able to do this?
If so, did it went only through public repos or through private ones too?

[prasadkadu]

there goes the job of people doing unit testing .. just kidding
