I just think of it as a smarter snippet tool/autocomplete. In my experience and for the use I gave Copilot, I was not impressed and it did not help me much.
I use TabNine and that works fantastic for me, copilot not as much.
I personally don't think it will replace us whatsoever, it will just support some of us like any other tool.
Keep on dreaming. Maybe programmers will stay, but they will become a hell of a lot more efficient. Like 1 programmer doing the work of 100 (or whatever). It's a pattern that arises in every field AI has entered.
Yeah I somewhat agree. In the mid/long term probably yes, it will make most of us redundant, but we will not be replaced as the question in the post asked. I also don't think we should worry much still, at least not about copilot.
I also don't see it happening any time soon. However, AI has this exponential thing which makes our guess as good as anyone else's. We may still be on the shallow curve for years, but boy, when it steepens, I'm sure things will change rapidly.
Interesting! I’ve used Tabnine and I didn’t find it much helpful. I guess it will depend on the programming language we are using and the specific project maybe 🤷♂️
I’m in the same boat as you. I think, in the end, this is just another tool, and the programmer will not be replaced by it.
I too didn't find it that useful initially, but after using it for around 1 year os so it really started to understand my way of coding and the projects.

Absolutely. Also, with efficiency comes the need to trim away the unneeded heads: entry levels, juniors and even some mid levels.

I guess it won't hurt start using it again. I'll try it once more!
I use Tabnine and GitHub Copilot... A very strong combination ☺️
Nice!
