This week I had some time to try GitHub Copilot!

GitHub Copilot is an AI tool created by GitHub and OpenAI to support programmers.

I wrote more about my experience in Play Around With GitHub Copilot Through Visual Studio 2022 IDE.

You don't need to read my post. You can find other resources online.

However, if you use any of the most popular programming languages like Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java etc, you should try it!!

Not found during this week, because I've followed him for years, but I must share: the best content creator I've found out there, a great teacher and a true source of inspiration: javidx9.
If you are into image processing, custom game engines or gamedev, he is your man.

Cool, I am not into game development myself but I watched some of his videos! He seems funny!
Are you into game development? What tech stack are you using for that?

[MiguelMJ]

I used Unity for a year but then I switched to Godot, it worked better for me. However, when it comes to gamedev, I've mostly worked in custom, simple game engines to learn how they work in small projects. For this, I use SFML, a C++ multimedia library. There's where his videos have been useful!

I glanced at it and it seems promising! Have you tried GitHub Copilot by any chance?

[Ben Halpern]

Not yet, personally. But I've been following along.

[Drew Ronsman]

It's absolutely amazing I would recommend to try it out

[Lorenzo Zarantonello]

I read your post about running Copilot on the Raspberry Pi!
That is absolutely unexpected! Cool!

[Drew Ronsman]

oh awesome thanks

Our Director shared this awesome graphic from the peeps at Divio:
documentation.divio.com

"There is a secret that needs to be understood in order to write good software documentation: there isn’t one thing called documentation, there are FOUR"

[Lorenzo Zarantonello]

That is an interesting perspective!
I didn't read it all but I watched part of the video.
So, docs should be structured around

• Tutorials
• How-to guides
• Reference
• Explanation

I would think it depends on the target audience. The cooking analogy they present is quite spot on. I would even say that those four doc types refer to

• Tutorials: beginners - zero or almost zero knowledge
• How-to guides - has some knowledge but requires more
• Reference - has a good understanding of the product/service and needs to dig deeper
• Explanation - has more or less understanding of the product/service but wants to explore it
