GitHub Copilot - A developer's friend or foe?

Tooling for development has come a long way in the past 20 years. First, we had IntelliSense, then we had Resharper… now we have GitHub Copilot.

The next frontier has arrived in the form of an AI pair programmer. At the flick of a switch, you have a computer (well, a cloud full of computers) helping you finish entire algorithms… at SSW I see a lot of developers using it, and they say the main benefit is to help them do the grunt work. Some SSW developers have been using it since it was released back in June 2021! 🤯

At the last few dev conferences, I asked around to see who was already using it and was surprised that many of you have been paying and using it for ages.

I did an internal survey and the results were pretty positive for using copilot for client work, but some were not (more on that later).

Let's take a look at what it can do...

Read on to see the what GitHub Copilot can do for you, and what it can't!
