Hi i'm an avid web and app developer in search for creativity and always going after new ideas.
Developer of Atomics Digital, Invoice Me and Reactor JS
I've been using github copilot for almost 2 years. It's way better for code generation than chatgpt, even though they're both based on open AI.
Chatgpt gets very frustrating sometimes. I've mastered chatgpt for code generation, I know exactly how to get it to generate the code I need, but it takes time and a lot of repeating and corrections. It's not smart enough right now. Even when I get a perfect result for X and Y I ask it to repeat the same exact task for Z and it will give me an incorrect and inconsistent result.
It's ok though gpt is in its infancy, it will get really good with time.
I've found using the two together can be helpful. In my django project I found if I don't know how exactly to implement something, I can explore solutions with Chatgpt and code it with Copilot. Has anyone else found this?
And also Copilot has a smooth integration and user experience with VSCode, it saves a lot of time and effort, I don't have to manually switch between ChatGPT and the editor to copy and paste relevant information or code snippets.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Absolutely. It's the more reason why developers have to see chatGPT as a tool and not just an end in itself.
