It can sometimes generate weird code.

Likeliness to Recommend

7 /10

What differentiates GitHub Platform from other similar products?

Because it has learned from all the public code on github, it has also learned some bad habits and weird coding styles.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like that i can ask it to show me multiple different suggestions. If i don't like the first one, i can cycle through a few other options to find one that i like better.

What do you dislike most about this product?

You have to be careful that it doesn't generate code that is copyrighted or has a restrictive license.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Always review the code it generates. Don't just blindly accept the first suggestion.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity

Cons

  • Leverages Incumbent Status

it writes all my boilerplate code.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates GitHub Platform from other similar products?

i used to spend so much time writing the same boring, repetitive code for every new project. now, copilot does all of that for me in seconds.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

i love that i can just write a comment describing the function i need, and copilot will write the entire function for me. it's like magic and saves me so much typing.

What do you dislike most about this product?

the code it generates is not always the most efficient. you still need to review it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

if you want to focus on the interesting parts of coding, let copilot handle the boring stuff.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Unique Features

github copilot is my coding partner.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates GitHub Platform from other similar products?

the main difference is that it suggests whole lines or even functions of code, not just single words. it is like having a pair programmer who can read your mind and anticipate what you are going to write next. it is much more powerful than traditional autocomplete.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

i love how it learns from my coding style. the more i use it, the better its suggestions become. it adapts to my variable names, my formatting, and my way of writing code. it feels very personalized.

What do you dislike most about this product?

sometimes the suggestions are completely wrong or irrelevant. you have to be careful and not accept them blindly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

i highly recommend it to all developers. it will make you code faster and with fewer errors.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy
