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 lo…

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

Copilot is a crutch that prevents learning. You are not falling behind.

"Catching up" by using this tool will only land you in a lawsuit for copyright infringement.

It took me a few hours to find the right plugins for neovim. Thought I'd post it here in case anybody was thinking about doing this. Cheers.

Nice work. Almost tempts me to try it.

I wonder if you could bundle it as a language server to make integrating it into editor workflows easy. It’s “basically” just the completion capability, right? Or maybe there’s something else to the interactions that make it not work nicely.

Speaking of copilot, when is GitHub going to support billing for it at the organization level? Right now I would have to do a monthly reimbursement request which is a pain.

Help me understand something. I understand that the company should pay for Copilot in principle. However, is paying $120 per year that much when it helps you in your at least mid-five-figures job? I would ask for the reimbursement if it was annual, but filling out a form to ask for $10 back every month seems a bit over the top. Maybe I'm a spendthrift? Am I missing something here? Would you say I am being irresponsib…

Any $ is too much $. I claim back $1.99 every month through the horrible SAP Concur.

If it's a tool to do company's work, the company should pay for it.

It's a slippery slope. You can't start giving freebies to your bosses (who are almost certainly much wealthier than you are) or it'll never end, just like you can't ever pay blackmail
