Dear GitHub, Why Did You Release This?
Ғылым және технология
My lord, GitHub Copilot Workspace is a total disaster. Devin tier. I can't believe they are showing this off in such a terrible state.

one billion people using AI to code... nice technical debt.... half the human population hasnt even used the internet foir the first time... and their talking about billion people coding with coipilot, like riding a bicycle.... even countries where 30 years computers are normacy... only 5% or less are power users... even the people who think they are good computer users arent actually on average level even.... accorrding to the criteria wich have been layed out....

@@d2rey596 Arguably, whether it was an LLM or if it was a human writer or team of human writers, they missed the mark. (You didn't ask for this advice, but it may help someone else) One of the best pieces of advice I have been given: "Read your writing aloud, because your brain will automatically catch grammatical errors". The only caveat to that advice: pay special attention to what was actually written. Because your writing can be so "off the mark" that when read, you say a word or phrase that doesn't exist.

AI is promising the same thing 5GL language promised and failed to deliver. To say I'm sceptical is an understatement. A developer's job isn't to write code, it's to tell a computer what it must do. Changing the language in which the devs describes problems from a 1-4GL to a 5GL or to an AI "natural language" description doesn't change what a dev needs to describe. The hard part of the job is still in specifying things in a way so a computer will not misunderstand.

There must be a point where natural language description ends up being longer than the actual code, and comes with major organisational problems, such as where do I put "...should have a border radius 3, but not when hovering, or next to a widget, and they should be laid out horizontally...". Inform 7 is an example.

24:10 I checked the repo: the diff is because the file was checked in as CRLF in the initial commit, but the Copilot Workspace version has been converted to LF. This is actually also a somewhat common mistake. A human developer would be expected to explain this, possibly also create checks to avoid this situation in the future (with an .editorconfig perhaps), while the LLM is just oblivious. This is also one thing that GitHub is terrible at showing. If there are whitespace differences maybe the UI should show me the whitespace being different, just like the last newline in the file? But no, it just looks identical.

Never heard of this issue until this happened me today - didn’t know such a thing existed
The article reads as if they gave a group of junior engineers "focus medication," and told them to write an article, where the sky is the limit. That would explain why some paragraphs are made up of only one sentence 😅
I was pretty hyped after seeing this on fireship’s channel. But seeing you dive into the details of what it’s doing wrong in the _example_ code pretty much quashed all my excitement.
copilot should be like an emmet thats it, this will make new dev lazy, or conspiracy theory that they secretly make all new dev dependent on it
Is the appartment unit of time linear?
That blog post was probably written by copilot. Sure as hell *looks* like it was written, or highly edited, or enhanced, by AI.
5:32 THAT did changed my life 😳

This is targeted at C-suite folks who failed to get their devs to be "more productive".
It's interesting to me that most people think that getting started isn't the hardest part. When Theo said staying with it is the hardest part, it clicked for me, but before that, I totally thought getting started was the hardest part. When you don't even know the right questions to be asking, looking back at it feels daunting to me.
that last part of GitHub's announcements felt like McKinsey consultants explaining Github lmfao
Many years ago, I read an article about how the word "so" entered everyday English because of the show Friends. I wonder if the same will now happen with the word "delve"
i would like to try the experiment where they made a shared programming environment (was it github realtime iirc?)
Right off the bat, it's way too expensive. Clearly it needs a lot of work, just their sample shows that much. They should open it up for beta testing, let people use it for free until they work out the bugs. Even after that, charging by the hour is a deal breaker. Thank you for the review, Theo. It's far more interesting than enticing.
This seems cool for learning a new stack or something like that. That's a win, right?
I was using cody AI , aws toolkit and none of them was faster and better than supermaven thank you for sharing this cool copilot I really appreciate that
15:11 This was sneaky 😂😂😂
I spent some time trying to write a (much less ambitious) version of this and getting a bot to edit files and do multiple steps autonomously without loosing the plot... project managers just don't realize how hard that is. I wish project managers/marketers could let things be cool for what they can do without over promising.
@Theo - Of all the KZreadr's I watch, yours is the one where I really, really hope to get your personal reply to my comments!
Honestly think the language difference is more technical vs non-technical people, were those papers in particular areas? Because when I moved from international relations to applied informatics I was actively told off for this very thing. I wouldn't flinch at 'delve' tbh
These posts and tools are made for non-technical managers. GitHub/MS wants to sell them licenses, on the premise that they will revolutionize their company/department.
13:12 "I'm sorry to the author" Don't be, the author doesn't exist anyway.

I agree that such tools should run in the IDE you're already using. I agree the demo sucks; however, a configurable multi-agent to help with larger scope code changes that actually works is something I'm looking forwards to. Human in the driving seat is a must.
love your vids. educating
🤣 "They needed the help. Let's get real" - Loved that one!
Thank you! That's exactly been my thoughts about AI tools as well!
Saying "cringe" all the time is bad practice.
Why do companies keep saying they need to lower barrier of entry for programmers but on the other hand they fire 60% of their junior devs? If you don't want junior devs, why do you want more junior devs to commit code?
Wtf we live in a world where we are short on professional developers? Literally when every company is laying off half of their professional developers 😂
Notice how the generated code at 23:28 is also just wrong. Yay autocomplete!
"The devs that are boosted that hard - they needed the help, let's be real" - Yeah, I'm sure Andrej Karpathy is a huge slacker and desperately needed that help
Imagine the codebase for this project...
With AI, we're going to need the ESC key closer, or there will be a lot of repetitive strain injuries....

I’ve been a copilot fan for years and a GitHub hater even longer. I liked SuperMaven enough to invest. The likelihood I see ANY money from that investment is near 0. Actually fun fact, I have more money in Microsoft stock. Should I have disclosed that as well?
the comparison of supermaven and copilot was not fair at all.... not only did you not test the two on the same completion task, you made a point that copilot did not use tailwind in the solution, but supermaven also did the same right before. If you're going to showcase something you have vested interest in. do it fairly.
Somebody in Github got the memo that Devin was on the way, so the quickly set up a team of 50 engineers to make their own version of it. This is their way to justify their employment.
Ffs it's self driving cars all over again
as a guy trying to learn how to code, and i have pretty bad dyslexia id currently say trying to find useful resources for me to learn from is very difficult, i have a diploma in chemistry biology physics and maths being dyslexic isnt a significant problem because i can just use my imagination to understand it and see diagrams and maths which i dont struggle with, but coding is a tough one thats what im excited about the new gpt 4o desktop app whenever they decide to release the windows version, i think using the screen ''streaming'' to chat gpt with the voice is gonna be great for learning hopefully the same way it'll help blind people, just describing what im doing as i go i think will inscribe the language into my head a bit better lol
I worked as a translator in China for about 8 years. I'm guessing this article was probably written in Chinese originally. It's not just VC speak, it feels like Chinese VC speak to me. A lot of those sentences that have a lot of words that feel awkward in English actually feel very fluid in written Chinese. I don't think it came from AI beyond partial translation assistance probably.
It's bullshit like this why I still don't use GH, but especially the thought that it might change your licensing and absorb your codebase without your permission. That was a smooth move editing the article to promote your channel. And I feel called out for both using the word delve and starting sentences with `and`. I delve into different things all the time, and I've never had anyone complain about it, at least not to my face.
18:50 "increase labour demand"? 🤨
At this point, AI products are so obviously forced and just capturing the remaining VC money before reaching the tough of despair in the Gartner hype cycle
It missed compiling the regex. So the code is kinda almost broken from being slow IMO.
Oh boy! Programming in natural language sounds like a great idea! Because that's exactly what we need. More ambiguity! More fuzzy shit! Consistency and well defined language rules are soooooo 1970! Precise control over program behaviour? Who needs that? I'm 1000% sure nothing could possibly go wrong.
Hot take from people who love to extrapolate into the future ... "But Gpt-5 will solve all these problems" or "For now", my favorite one liner
whats with the big frame on the v8deo - its so distracting
It’s honestly sad to see so much money and engineering time going towards pointless projects, rather than developing AIs that actually provide value.
Maybe good to see idiomatic solutions if you're new to a language/framework to get a feel for it.. But yeah very limited use case that I can see.
This was an incredibly enjoyable video 😂

What Github Codespaces charges per hour, Unity Build Automation charges PER MINUTE.
Also listening to Theo rant about the quality of the products... Having a couple friends working at M$ that are Principle Devs, hearing them talk about new hires and the quality of people getting hired. One would say "Well it isn't like it was in the old days" and will continue on about why DEI is sh1t... Think, some new hires he encounters he will agree they are pretty smart but is surprised some of the more lower level basic things they have no clue about. Example might be memory management and handling stuff like that and performance, why or when to use a link list, or avl tree, quickorts are good except when...?
"delve" is fancy language now? If we set the bar any lower, life will be one long limbo contest.
It's 100% is what happens when marketing does the screenshots :P.
I partially agree. The business speak makes me highly skeptical and the output is an embarrassing pile of garbage. But there are enough non-technical "decision makers", who will eat that s**t right up. Incidentally, these are the types of people I'm not going to feel sorry for. Also, it's hard to say if a directional change is the right call. We might be one or two LLM generations plus a few tweaks away from this being amazing, but that's hard to say now. Anyway, the potential benefits are insane. Launching early, however embarrassing the product may be right now, might even be correct. Iterating with customer feedback and collecting training data is just that valuable.
You shouldn't be so skeptical. Specify what you want and ask it to generate the code. (1) "Write if", (2) "Write (i == 0)", (3) ... Okay, maybe that's a bit long, but you get what you want.

the model github copilot uses is super not good enough to support this feature, too much hallucination and misunderstanding, i assume this is planned for gpt-5
They probably should've used copilot to write the damn article lol, then again it is bad enough that maybe they did...
I mean, yeah, looking back makes me thing people simply does only want to dish out content for the heck of it. First they say they hate it, months later, you guys become patrons of it. I mean, I'm one of them, I hated copilot. But once someone said, that I should try the free trial, I myself have fallen in love with it. So yes, we can be really stupid sometimes, lol.
just chat is superior, I hate having it guess what i'm trying to do, I'd rather just use it to explore concepts and examples
nothing wrong with starting sentence with And
corpo marketing speak might as well be AI speak
Thank you for dispelling the lies as the fear of AI systems is wreaking havoc on my mental state. Even though I know it's extremely limited, hallucinates and gaslights like crazy and can't do anything that spans more than one function.
I'd have to say with the iot Bluetooth NFC and P2P networking the aiot era Auto populating with linking social platforms between all the different AI models from Twitter and meta and co-pilot along with check GPT and using repositories with hugging face and gitlab upload pipelines to advance it there their understanding
