This post will be about my experience using the AI chatbot extension on vscode. This feature is available to all users that subscribed to Github co-pilot project.
Recently , I signed up for Github chatbot preview, so one fine day I received email from Github notifying me that I am enrolled as a new user for the chatbot preview project.
So without wasting any more time, I followed their instructions on how to get the chatbot extension installed in vscode.
The looks.
The chatbot extension will sits somewhere on the left side of vscode. You can simply prompt the AI to generate code for you, In this case, I used it to generate html for a twitter button in Tailwind css.
Overall. It is a good extension to have, the AI extension at times may be slow to respond, I suspect due to the bad wifi coverage in my workstation.
As for the code generation, the code generated - almost similar to that code generated by ChatGPT - as a developer you still have to test and verify the code works as intended.
No one wanted to debug bad codes that deployed into production , no one wanted to have security risks using code that not properly tested.
Next - I will try using it to generate js extension that will sync my blog , my Dev.To account , and my personal website. I will share the code - if it works :-)
