Should you use GitHub's CoPilot to write your code?

CoPilot wrote a Data Pipeline for me. Good, bad?

Since everyone else is talking about AI these days I have no choice but to get on the bandwagon. Like jump on it. Hard.

Let’s be honest, as people who write code all day long it’s hard not to be a little skeptical about AI taking all our programming jobs. We know code too well to fall for that line.

“In our haste to wave our hands in the air about AI and shove it under the rug, are we missing out? I think so.”

The problem is you don’t want to be the person riding around on your horse complaining about those pesky automobiles and how they will never catch on. Let’s not be those people. Is there anything good about ChatGPT and GitHub’s CoPilot?

Yes. Is there something bad about it? Yes.

What's the catch with CoPilot?

It's actually pretty simple. There are only a few things you need to know about AI taking over programming.

• CoPilot can write code better than a new junior developer.

• CoPilot can make it more efficient and effective.

• If you are new to programming, don't touch it. It's a drug.

• The world is changing, you should come along.

These are my takeaways. Best listen up.
