I was kinda lukewarm-enthusiastic going in, but watching it create these unit tests really gave me a lot of unexpected joy!
Okay, Github Copilot is DEFINITELY really cool!
The AI's ability to write valid unit tests is kind of amazing. Check out my quick live demo, even if you're not a programmer.
Now, sure, these tests are fairly rote and totally typical (i.e. the AI would've seen this pattern a ton already). But the little details it gets right are really thrilling!
#[0] vibe when I spend the weekend coding.
Getting more impressed!
Github Copilot knew I was rendering a list of words as a comma-separated string in the ui (["a", "b", "c"] -> "a, b, c") and so it auto-wrote the reverse function to accept the updated comma-separated list and store it back as an array!
Definitely not genius-level or anything, but still pretty awesome. It even auto-completed my code comments explaining why that conversion code was necessary!
And here's a pretty cool Github Copilot win!
My normie day job is at a literacy nonprofit. They were supposed to define the 44 "letter sounds" of English for me. I found a good resource via Google and began transcribing the list.
Copilot figured out what this weird list was (phonemes) and correctly autocompleted the next two entries (the gray suggested text)!
Pretty basic use case, but still pretty impressive.
Haven't tried. I just signed up for the Copilot trial and this is my first foray into any of the AI newness.
Early impressions are that Copilot is okay for what it tries to be, but the real magic will come with Copilot X / gpt-4 when it can ingest a full codebase.
Pretty bad Github Copilot miss.
The answer's url is nonsense; that question id is for a totally different topic.

f'n legend! That was so early that you can't even have any regrets about it; experimental money needed people willing to experiment with it. I'm grateful that Martti was willing to test on mainnet!

Probably a bug in NostrTool? Haven't seen this happen before.
Best way to try out AI coding assistants?
Python in VSCode is my default dev environment. Anything directly integrated? What's the workflow?
Six chars should be no prob. #[2] has eight!
I tried walking onto the diving team in college. The coach was desperate for more male divers and was willing to try to start from the beginning with me.
Total disaster. Head-first back dives? Nope. Gymnast instincts were not going to allow that!
