Haha, this is great! Thank you for sharing! Though you definitely started it with that username and the subject.

My friends have been using warp.dev and claim that the AI autopilot has made them 10x as productive on the shell. I just lament that people who haven't suffered through learning shell primitives as a teenager are now as productive or more than me. In time, all our primitive skills fall to the machine. I love it.

I feel like if we don’t keep up and learn this new skill. We will soon fall behind.

First time I'm hearing about this. Looks pretty cool. I think I already have a pretty good grasp on CLI commands, but I'll give it a shot, especially since the other features also seem interesting.

I find documentation and examples of using copilot quite limited. Anyone have any good pointers? Specifically I’m interested in how you can tune copilot on a specific codebase or language.

Also interested in this, I don't think you can.

One piece of info I was able to get out of copilot devs directly in their Q&A session was that it looks at other open tabs for completion context (the example they gave being header files in C/C++, commonly open alongside implementations).

I've taken to just prototyping things in giant, single files because Copilot at least has the entire program in it's buffer (I think) to give suggestions based on.

Yeah, sounded great. I just downloaded it.. hit a login screen..?! Then I read the HN comments on this page from 5 months ago, and immediately uninstalled:

The most worrying comments are those by the OP, the "founder and CEO of warp", who comes across as a liar and scammer. Super-unimpressive.
