Since the boom of AI more than a year ago, I've been more of a skeptic rather than an early adopter of using AI as a daily companion. I remember that, even though it was considered a great introduction to AI, GitHub's Copilot was considered so-so, and not really recommended as a coding assistant.
Fast forward to today, I decided to try it to maybe improve the time it takes me to code the tickets I'm working on. A small part of the code I write daily feels very predictable, and so I wanted to test out that theory.
The result: I'm impressed!
It's great at predicting the next line I'm going to write, although not so much when it comes to generating chunks of code from a prompt. Maybe it's my style of coding, or maybe my prompts are weak, I don't know.
Regardless, I'll keep using it at least during the free trial, but if it keeps being as useful as it's been this far, I'll definitely pay the 20 monthly bucks.
