I Built an App with GitHub Copilot, Here's the Result

Thanks for sharing.

Looks interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience. I think I should give it a try.

Agreed I found it pretty annoying. Tabnine+snippets is all I really need right now. I still interested in seeing how it evolves over time but there are some ethical and privacy considerations for me with how it generated suggestions from open source projects.

I found TabNine to produce much more useful results than Copilot personally.

Now After reading this I am even more excited to try copilot. Thanks for Writing.

Looks like I removed my comment by accident.

I tried it as well and I agree that GH Pilot generates a lot of code smell. I was getting a lot of weird code suggestions, even when cycling trhough alternatives which was even worse.

Currently github pilot looks like a tool with a lot of code snipets and most of them are not really good - aka bad/old practices like adding var instead of let or const, spliting code into too much variables etc...

There's no point for me to use it if I'll have to refactor every single snipet I get.

It also tried to offer me code I already have for certain services, which was super weird since I don't need 2 indentical service functions with different names.

For now I will turn it off as it's more of distraction than help. We'll see how it turns out in the near future.

Very interesting experiment, thank you for sharing! I would love to try copilot for myself and see the extent to which it can automate repetitive code patterns in a larger code-base. I'm guessing this is where we'll see the most value.

Thanks for sharing!
