My mind is blown by the people saying $10/month is too much. $10 a month for this is an unbelievably good deal! If you value your time, this is a ridiculously good deal.

>The productivity benefits are worth more than $10/month easily, but somehow I still don't want to pay for it.. Are the productivity benefits worth more than $10/month?
Uh, yeah. Consider how much programmers are paid per hour. Or how often you look up Stack Overflow or language documentation.
Now, if they are paid per job and it makes them more productive... That's different.

If you just get the solution the learning gets smaller.
I was skeptical going in, but ... wow. There were a lot of jaw-drop "how the hell did that just happen?" moments.
The systems ability to quickly learn form local code is especially impressive.
I had to implement a non-trivial Rust trait for about 20 types, which is not just copy-pastable between types or I would have used a macro. On the first one Copilot didn't have a clue what I wanted. The second one was halfway auto-completed. The other 18 were mostly just generated correctly, with some minor fixes required.
It literally was 5x faster than without Copilot.
And that's for a rather niche language with not that much code to learn from... I didn't even try it out with something like Java or Typescript.
Even in this early iteration the productivity boost would easily be worth 100+ for me, even though I'm not working all that much on repetitive code like REST endpoints or UI components.

This is not good news. It's actually changed from being free to costing $10/month. The productivity benefits are worth more than $10/month easily, but somehow I still don't want to pay for it... maybe it's because they're using public domain code to train the model.

I’ve been trailing the beta for the past few months and plan to recommend a corporate account to our leadership once it becomes available.

(Shhhh don’t tell GitHub!)

It doesn’t train itself on your local code. It’s probably using your colleagues code in your codebase as part of the input to decide what you want. Someone else in a separate project will never see Copilot recommendations of your colleagues (as long as GitHub doesn’t change their ToS)
It's on github.
