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.
I'm also still skeptical about the legal aspects of it. Microsoft says that training the model is fair use. Good for them, but that's not applicable to me in any way.
I've found copilot invaluable for throwing together quick scripts, especially in languages I don't quite understand. Writing e.g. a bash script, and being able to add a comment saying # Print an error message in red and exit if this program returns an error and have it print out if ! some_program then echo -e "\e[31msome_program failed\e[0m" exit 1 fi makes it so much quicker to cobble together something that works w…
Maybe they can replace you with copilot and an unexperienced cheaper user.

Weird that it prints the error to stdout. I mean not that surprising really, I'd just expect error->stderr to be a pretty low-hanging association
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.

This includes a lot of code under copyleft licenses, and possibly even more code under no license at all (implicitly All Rights Reserved). It's not obvious to me that it's ethical (or possibly even legal) to sell a model derived from code not in the public domain.

Have been using Copilot in the beta and it's just been amazing. I can't remember how many times my jaw has literally dropped as it knows what I'm trying to do, or yelled "Holy sh*t!" as it feels like it's reading my mind. That said, was highly disappointed with the switch to non-free. Maybe they never did say it would remain free, but they certainly didn't advertise it wouldn't be later. I feel bait-and-switched. Yes…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's on github.
Someone else running copilot in a different workspace wouldn’t see those recommendations, you can try it yourself in a new workspace.
