Absolutely agree. It obviously depends on a developers rate, but a $50/hr dev would only need to save 12 minutes to break even. One successful suggestion could save 5 minutes of searching for “that one property/method/etc.”
I have saved hundreds of 10second increments while coding with copilot just because I don’t have to type out so much. On top of the help for correct property names or idiomatic approaches for unfamiliar libraries, it’s a win-win in my book.
I do get CoPilot for free though, as a member of an org that is maintaining a popular open-source library.
For those of you who value CoPilot but can’t fork out $10/mo: can you afford to help maintain a popular open source library?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
