A bit disappointed it doesn’t have access to the whole repo as context. That would’ve been the bomb!

Thx, very nice overview!

Hopefully they give it the ability to follow code and find related classes or packages in other directories when asking it to explain code and that people don't start creating unreadable code just for the machine, it would be like going backwards 15 years if we end up with loads new projects that all the lines of code exist in one file, that would be a nightmare all over again.

I suspect you may of got more better results from the GO coding test with more "prompt engineering". Introducing "self reflection" prompts to Copilot may have helped. For example adding prompts such as a) Think “step by step” & explain your logic steps. b) Review your logic steps & answer, identifying any potential problems. c) Critique your answer e) Improve your answer based on your critique of the answer.

I fully agree! The question becomes: if I’m to write this much “prompt” I might as well write the code myself 😄 I wonder what’s the sweet spot to be honest. Is this helping me or changing how I write code by forcing a new layer of abstraction? Time will tell

Thanks Bassem, you are awesome, as usual ! ... Actually I didn't find a lot of difference between using chatgpt in a separate window and the way you used Copilotx if we want to test the same tasks ! Although CopilotX is supposed to be somehow "integrated" in the coding environment ... I was waiting to see more understanding from CopilotX of the project structure/context... I don't know if feeding it with the folder tree structure can help it to get more context (if we suppose some meaningful file names) or if there is maybe other tips to see how it is customized for coding environment (not just as an integrated chat tab)... It would be wonderful, If I can use it to understand something about the architecture of an existing codebase.

Great observation & question! It most definitely extracts more information to generate more accurate / specific responses! My prompts were quite basic and not as specific / elaborate as they can be. How much context does it extract is the question which I don't have the answer for.

Takeaway: this doesn’t actually help you solve problems. In each scenario, you got stuck and decided to give up lol

You always get stuck and have to give up during development, which leads you to reading up on what you need to do. You can use copilot like that too, I mean yeah you could trust everything it does and 80% of the time you'll end up with semi-correct code, but you can prompt with things like "explaining the key concepts" to start understanding what approach to take. Yeah, for now it's like a very confident, slightly less accurate but good at explaining senior developer in your pocket. But if it's accurate enough most of the time, you'll learn and progress. At some point, it'll be so accurate that we'll all be optimized out of the equation but to be fair when that happens we have bigger things to worry about than problem solving.

Thanks :) I have a question. I joined the technical list from GitHub copilot x and give all my PayPal stuff. But how I can use it now? or am I just on the waiting list ? I am a little bit confused

A concern I have on this is how up to date this copilot is. You should be asking about features and packages that are new, or just plain ask it how up to date it is on go. For me, I'm using chatGPT, being aware that it is not updated after September 2021.

@@AyahuascaDataScientist I would be careful with what you are saying here. The only problem is that those models cannot plan ahead. This inability to do so is what causes most of its issues when trying to solve very abstract problems. We cannot be sure when someone figures out a solution to that. Since we cannot be sure of that, the idea of those models being unable to code on human level for a long time seems more like a guess than something reasonably deduced.

There's also a Copilot Chat extension you'll need for VS and VS Code.

It seems they capped the trial phase to 30 instead of 60 days now.

For now we have Baby AI, who of course cannot replace developer (that why the name is copilot and not pilot) entirely yet! Now another developer who knows how to fully take advantage of such tool to improve his productivity will for sure replace you. That said this system can only improve from gérer and will get better and better to the point which it will be able to completely developers.

I wonder if you remove all the comments in your code would its explanation still be as good. Twitter and Go code didn't do well, but they also didn't have much commenting either. Just a thought.

I'm not very impressed with any AI code assistant for anything more than just simple functions. I don't know what other people are coding but I'm pretty sure AI won't get anywhere near replacing a software engineer any time soon. It's the same with AI art generators. Sure they might be good at static images but ask them to animate anything at all and you soon see their limitations.

Can someone tell me how this is different than just copying and pasting code into gpt? I mean if it can't understand the structure and read every single file in the project and understand how the css and the state management interactions work then what is the point of it?

I believe if you start copy pasting a lot of code into ChatGPT, it can start hallucinating. Plus there is a word limit in ChatGPT, so if you have files with more than let's say 200-300 lines of code you'd need to give it in multiple messages and I am not sure about this but I think here is where it can start hallucinating.

The fact that you don't have to paste the code. XD I hope someday he'll start to understand the context better.

My personal experience says don't try to use AI to do anything complex. If you do, you will waste more time fighting against the nonsense the AI spouts (extremely convoluted code) than if you just used Google like you normally would. At some point in the future (late 2024 into 2025 probably) AI may actually become useful for complex assistance, but until then, don't bother unless you have plenty of time to waste. I have literally spent an hour or more going round and round with AI, refining my prompts and never getting a working answer. I then spent 5 minutes or less with Google and had the answer that the AI never even offered. I then would feed the answer to the AI and it would confirm that was the best solution. How lovely.

Would suggest you increase the size of the code window instead of having a large viee of your face. Even though you sre a beautiful human being, it does not optimize the content for viewing on a smaller device. I would probably just maximise the code window and skip showing your face all the time and instead have some breaks where you face shows up and gives rhe human touch. I dont know. Just feels crammed when watching content that has the content inside a smaller box inside the screen i am using.
