GitHub Copilot Experiences

Copilot is so much more than code completion. Have you used it?

How is this compared to the current GitHub Copilot?

Doesn't the GitHub copilot do the same? What are the advantages of this?

I tried Copilot and removed it from my IDE. Not good enough, only fills in obvious parts and even there makes mistakes.

and copilot isn't that impressive anyway. I use gpt4 for most of my coding queries, wish there was a copilot with gpt4 api.

Copilot is just an autocomplete tool, it doesn’t have much support for multiturn prompting so it’s best used when you know exactly what code you want and just want it done quickly like implementing a well defined function to satisfy an interface or refactoring existing code to match an example you’ve already written out or prefilling boilerplate on a new file. For more complex work you need to use a chat interface where you can actually discuss the proposed changes with the model and edit and fo

How are you using copilot if you're not coding?

GitHub copilot and nothing else comes close tbh.

Copilot just suggests code.

I think you could say that Github copilot is partly in this way ?
