Ok before we get to the main gist, let us understand what Github copilot is all about

GITHUB COPILOT

ok i know what i was thinking when i first heard this, wow they have brought a new piloting program for coders but nah github copilot is an AI pair programmer, that sounds technical right well i did a little research, it works like an autocomplete with booster, think of you being a coder that is being given suggestions of codes that could do what you want to do.

Github Copliot : is an AI pair Programmer that suggest codes based on what has been feed the internet through sources like our very own stackoverflow, w3schools etc. it basically is like going crawling through the web looking for answers people gave to the problem you are trying to solve and it may open your eyes to new ways of solving issues than iusing your traditional outdated ways but then the internet is full of answers that may be right but are not logical for your program .

WHY WAS GITHUB COPILOT THE TALK OF THE TOWN

I really havent really seen any reasons aas to why it was the talk of the town unlike its predecessors, oh yes! github copilot isnt the first pair programmer autocomplete out there, there is the Tabnine,Kite, just to list a few but why github copilot skyrocketed is still unsure to me, is it the waitlist for users to be given the tecnhnical preview acess or the fact that two reliable companies, Microsoft and Github decided to work together to produce this, i will continue to wonder but in all they have made a fine AI pair programming assistant

IS GITHUB COPILOT THE COVID-19 EQUIVALENT FOR CODERS, ARE WE GOING TO GO EXTINCT

ok keep calm, we are not going anywhere just yet, this isnt going to be like terminator or jurassic world park, we havent ventured that deep, it is just like autopilot came around years ago, that doesnt mean that pilot stopped flying planes, pilot still fly planes till date, it is just what it is, an ASSISTANT, no more no less. it has the ability to give suggestion but there are areas where the human mind is required to decide which suggestion will work efficiently and sometimes in my case as a mobile developer i run into cases where the autocomplete does not even get what i want how i want it or maybe i am not using it right but there arre limitations to thee github copilot programme, you are not going to enter GOD mode just cause you have it, many have questioned its working powers in unchartered territory or new programming languages that do not have suggested answers on the web.

For now you are safe as developer,coder, programmer keep doing what you do best and producing apps and website that only you can do due to the time, training and devotion you have put yourself through to be a top developer

with this i hope you had most of your questions about github copliot answered and if theres anything you would like answered or would like to start a banter or a rant, my comment field are always open, i welcome you all, lets have a good laugh.

Go break some eggs
