Copilot Experience
Throughout the process, I used Copilot for code completion and chat. In chat, I tested out several different models - Claude 3.5, GPT 4o, o1, and o1-mini. I preferred o1 most of all, as I'm most familiar with it through my experience using ChatGPT. I periodically corrected syntax during the challenge using Copilot, occasionally used it for debugging, and used GPT o1 a lot for more organization and high-level questions. I find that Copilot keeps me more in a flow state, as I don't stray from my IDE.
Conclusion
Janus was an exciting project that allowed me to combine the power of Angular and Bun to create an interactive and visually engaging tool. Participating in the GitHub Copilot Challenge gave me the opportunity to explore how Copilot can enhance the development process by streamlining code completion, debugging, and overall workflow. By leveraging Copilot alongside other tools, I was able to stay focused and maintain a productive rhythm while building Janus. I'm thrilled to have contributed to this challenge and to share Janus with the developer community. Thank you for the opportunity!
