Smart code completion

What differentiates GitHub Copilot from other similar products?
Unlike Tabnine or IntelliSense, Copilot suggests full routes, handlers, hooks, even caching strategies or error middleware 鈥 like a senior engineer would., Works effortlessly across GitHub repos and pull requests.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It feels like I have a senior developer silently pairing with me 鈥 someone who reads my code, understands my stack, and helps me complete logic fast.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It doesn鈥檛 always understand how files relate in large codebases 鈥 especially with shared types, context, or multi-package setups. Each suggestion is local 鈥 it doesn鈥檛 remember architectural decisions or conventions I鈥檝e followed across files or sessions.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Use it as an intelligent assistant, not a replacement for deep understanding. Start with small and focused prompts for best results.
Pros
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
