Take a look at this, it's incredible!

https://copilot.github.com/
I've just started using Tabnine, which is based on GPT-2,

But this new Copilot is GPT-3, which Microsoft has exclusive access to.

Who's going to give this a try?

Thanks for joining the GitHub Copilot waitlist!

You’ve been added to the waitlist for the GitHub Copilot technical preview! No need to do anything else—we'll let you know when you can start using it. Just make sure your primary email address is up-to-date, and send us a note if you have any questions.

Same, I'm not sure how much it will differ but I'm interested in giving it a try.

I've been using it a bit, the free only gives you 50 selection choices.

I'm not the best programmer, still noobing it a bit, but it helps save time, not so sure about it writing lots of code.

I think once I'm a bit better at programming, maybe six months from now I'll get the full version.

What IDE do you use? I'm using jetbrains.

I like VS Code as it's lightweight and has certain features but also use Pycharm as well which is good. It's between the two at the moment depending on the task, still not sure to use VS Code for everything including all future python scripts.

AI could replace the need to write code in some aspects and automatically generate it.
It'll be interesting to see where this is headed. Some people don't realize, but we're already living in 'the future'.
 
damn. this GPT-3 and onwards will transform the future technology so much. Amazing.

Well , this is what most people get wrong . GitHub Copilot is awesome and will most likely end up a great tool , but it is overhyped and it won't replace programmers anytime soon.

Programming is thinking and solving problems.
If AI gets smart enough to think and solve problems, it is the end of humanity.

I can see it developed into something like Wordpress, Wix in near future. It's definitely gonna set the bar higher for new comers.

It will definitely reach that point , how soon though ? That's debatable . But yeah sooner or later mediocre developers will become irrelevant.
 
Wow, I just signed up. Let's see, seems impressive.
 
prepare for a bunch of super exploitable vulnerabilities when novice programmers try things outside of their mental scope in production ;)
 
Is someone really building MVPs faster thanks to this?

I can't believe it. I saw some crappy code produced without good practices followed.

I think it's not production ready. Am I mistaken?

Ok. I have a more relevant question.
Is this thing doing something more than producing beginner level algorithms?
Like can it solve a real-life problem like preparing dataset and training ML model?

All I see are copy pasted solutions.
 
in my time programming it seemed like a lot of things were more organization, and knowing how to connect the dots. once you knew where something belonged or what to do it was some cookie cutter code to make that action happen and then onto the next step.

going to start experimenting with this alot. looks like it will shave some good time off googling

appreciated

I wouldn't say that at all. Programming isn't for everyone. It takes problem solving and albeit some thinking outside the box. There's a lot of different ways to do things and programmers will almost always be needed.

New apps? Programmers. New plugins/features for existing plugins? Programmers. New software or AI maintenance? Programmers. Also, some internet marketers are too lazy to learn a scripting language so they hire a script kiddie for that. AKA mini-programmer or programmer-lite.

That's already started to happen with the ever-growing popularity of certain programming frameworks/libraries. To sign on to certain projects, you need react, vue, and angular experience. Even though, your probably will only use one of those frameworks. I imagine the days of logo design/cheap WP sites on Fiverr selling are coming to an end.

To write a reply on BHW you will need a language and understanding of 1000s of words.

Programming is easier than using human language if we aren't actually using programming to make AI understanding human language.

And the tech listed is there to only make your life easier. Learning more tech is just going to make you over-engineer solutions.

Writing software is basically copy pasting solutions and tailoring them to specific needs.

Otherwise, you are reinveting the wheel and the samsara opens.

If someone is telling me software is not about copy pasting code, then frameworks are irrelevant because they are just sets of patterns and forced standards + good practices which basically make it as easy as possible to copy paste from one project to another.

A few are dealing with complex operations and low level programming which clearly is useless for marketers. Of course there are exceptions confirming the rule.
