How Copilot Won Me Over
· 2 min read
Copilot is a service from GitHub that uses machine learning to help you write code. It was made generally available to the public on 21 June 2022.
As a person working in AI, I was very skeptical about this feature, and did not bother trying it for a long time. I expected it would generate code that is so buggy that it would be more productive to write the code by hand.
Until one day, a colleague whom I had a lot of respect for was singing praises about how Copilot helped him write a complex piece of code, and I decided to give it a try.
