GitHub Copilot

Like… a bubble of developing code from yesterday’s code (plenty flawed itself) and with exponential growth based on feedback loops of self-fulfilling prophecy —— I’m assuming copilot (and every openai variant to come) will essentially retrain itself on new code developed,which overtime might all be code it wrote itself.

Did we just create a hamster wheel for the industry, or high-rise elevator?

Helping devs go through "boring", repetitive code faster seems like a good way to increase our productivity and make us more valuable, not less.

Sure, if AI evolves to the point where it reaches human-level coding abilities we're in trouble, but that's the case this is going to revolutionize humanity as a whole (for better or worse), not merely our little niche.

From the examples:

    body: text=${text}

    rows, err := db.Query("SELECT category, COUNT(category), AVG(value) FROM tasks GROUP BY category")
        if err != nil {
            return nil, err
        }
        defer rows.Close()

    float(value)

    create_table :shipping_addresses do |t|

      var date1InMillis = date1.getTime();

I could go on, but literally the first five examples I looked at are buggy in some way.

Edit:

   const markers: { [language:string]: CommentMarker } = {
      javascript: { start: '//', end: ''},

Edit 2:

    function collaborators_map(json: any): Map> {

What about

    new Map(json.map(({name, collaborators}) => [name, new Set(collaborators)]))

Edit 3:

      const images = document.querySelectorAll('img');
      for (let i = 0; i 

    document.querySelectorAll('img:not([alt])').forEach(

    img:not([alt]) { border: 1px solid red; }

    eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y because that maybe that img was rendered through react.

    it should really be an `outline` because we don't want this to reflow the page and we can. And maybe a will-change.
