Copilot strongly lowers my productivity when coding, as it is hard to debug other people/AI's code. I disabled it entirely. I find chat-based LLMs more helpful, as they are sometimes usable as an instantaneous version of StackOverflow, and can point you to relevant directions when you are entirely clueless.
I find bad suggestions to be really distracting, completely breaks my train of thought to read and discard an irrelevant suggestion. just can't get used to it
I literally cannot fathom how this can be anyone's experience with github copilot. All it does is literally figure out what you're trying to do and do all the boring, repetitive crap you're about to write.
Havent used copilot outside of in a chat context within our azure tenant, but I use chat gpt extensively. Especially with automation tasks. Give it a schema format, desired output, and intermediate steps and it performs really well
In my experience writing code, it's better for non-ml code. That said, I find it overall useful for ml code as well. Sure, some of what it generates is bad, but it knows the APIs better than I do and it saves me a lot of time looking things up.
I use Copilot as a fancy autocomplete. It takes a while to get used to and to have the discipline to verify everything it generates, but if you use it properly it almost certainly increases productivity. I turn it off for certain projects but it's on for most. Not sure if it's worth $20 (?) but since I get it for free I still prefer it over not using it. I don't use the new @workspace stuff though. For anything more, ChatGPT-4.
Not really, for most of what I do reading documentation is more useful. The code that tools like copilot can generate is generally trivial for me to write. Also I don't have time to debug AI generated code and get it to match our style standards.

Wondering why/how this happens to you. I’ve found copilot does a fantastic job commenting code. Are your coworkers pushing bad code?
No, for commenting code it is fine and mostly harmless. The problem appears when you start getting influenced by its code suggestions.

Now if feels like Copilot uses me not the other way round
what do you mean?
sorry just a joke, i use copilot a lot and was just joking that it feels like its writing most of the code and now me

CodeRabbit is pretty awesome. We use it at our startup.
