I had access to the beta for a while, but only tried it out a few days ago. I was skeptical going in, but ... wow. There were a lot of jaw-drop "how the hell did that just happen?" moments. The systems ability to quickly learn form local code is especially impressive. I had to implement a non-trivial Rust trait for about 20 types, which is not just copy-pastable between types or I would have used a macro. On the first one Copilot didn't have a clue what I wanted. The second one was halfway auto-completed. The other 18 were mostly just generated correctly, with some minor fixes required. It literally was 5x faster than without Copilot. And that's for a rather niche language with not that much code to learn from... I didn't even try it out with something like Java or Typescript. Even in this early iteration the productivity boost would easily be worth 100+ for me, even though I'm not working all that much on repetitive code like REST endpoints or UI components. |
