I use it for .net syntax and .net lib references I figure if it’s good for anything it’s that. I also used it to write a soulless email about communication and accountability I had to send a dev after he just set himself out of office for 4 days and missed his deliverable deadline.

It still hallucinates MSSQL functions, so I wouldn’t assume it will be great at .Net

I used it for my first time this year. For like a week. That was all.

Then you’re part of “monthly active Copilot users”

Indeed. Haven’t touched it since

Absolutely NOT in office/email/whatever. But I must say copilot in vscode is very useful, auto-completion and for small tasks, it can generates code not that bad, just need small mod here and there and that’s it.

I’d believe him more if it was opt in and very clearly let folks know.

To be fair, there are a fair amount of Linux users on Lemmy.as for the millions who’ve never heard of Lemmy? I’m not confident they are not. Especially given the crap we have to clean out of my parent’s computer every couple months.

Well, if you count its uninstall feature, sure.

3x increase makes sense to me.
GitHub Copilot (the original copilot) is wildly popular amongst professional software developers, and is used more and more as it gets more powerful.
I suspect most of the original paying customer base are developers and they’re seeing a 3x usage, primarily amongst them, with a small bump from users of all the other copilots.

Since they renamed M362 to Copilot the usage numbers have been off the chart!

Weren’t they just begging us to use their slop machine like a week ago? Now it’s being used “a lot”? Sure Jan, lie to pump the stock.

Their stock price dropped 10% last night. Desperation is sinking in.

I use it for specific code syntax for .net but not for the grand scheme stuff. I do wish I had it integrated in visual studio to do some of the really annoying refractors that are in a billion spots but only require a small change. I don’t trust it for anything beyond what I would trust the greenest jr dev to do, and just like the jr dev it is going to mess up even the simple things so keep a close eye on it.

I’d love to see the numbers for computers with it immediately uninstalled.
BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s being used at my work a lot, but I’m guessing it’s mostly used as a Google replacement or an auto-complete tool. I know very few people that will generate the majority of their code with AI.

Hey, Satya. You aren’t fooling anyone and you don’t have the knack of bald-faced lying like Kristi and Donny.
