Auto Completion PowerHouse for Code!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates GitHub Copilot from other similar products?
It's ability to generate boiler plate code for iteration by the programmer (in cases when programmers feel that auto-completion may restrict their creativity).
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really like auto-complete feature. When discussing spitting out repetitive types, for instance, the interfaces and types are predicted as exactly as the should be with amazingly less key strokes.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I dislike the fact that I cannot rely on my personal creativity so much because I have put so much trust in Github-Copilot. It makes me become a lazy programmer and I dislike this fact.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Please use the auto-completion for only the sake of time saving and not as your main idea developer. Rarely allow AI to create code for you.
