How can it help you to speed up development but not be worth 10$/month. Your hourly rate can’t be that low.

It's great when it works, and can also be costly when it doesn't or when you blindly trust it.

Which is just another way of saying that it doesn’t really work, except perhaps for party tricks.

For me it works wonderfully, when you choose to use it. If you are just blindingly accepting every suggestion, you're going to have a bad time.

You also have to (slightly) change your flow to get the most out of it, which I know is a deal breaker for many.

I absolutely love it. It's not going to write good code for you, but for an autocompleter it is amazing.

The fact that GitHub charge only 10$/month suggests that they themselves don’t believe in their product. Because if it would actually work, i.e. speed up software development by, say, >10%, developers should be happy to pay 10 times as much or more.

This is a rather silly argument... by that logic since using the Adobe suite saves me at least it has a dozen hours every month I would be happy paying $500 a month for it.

There's a limit to what individuals are willing to pay for a subscription service irrespective of how many hours it saves you. Now if we're talking enterprise and bulk licensing then that's a separate issue.

This is a rather rude response… Your comparison with Adobe suite has a flaw, but I have no interest in exchanging ideas in this tone.
