I haven't used it yet. I believe when people say that it's the future of development and that every dev will have to use it or be left behind, but I can't fathom how people are comfortable sending every iteration of their code to a big tech corporation. I can't wait to see the day where we can run such solutions in our personal computers (or personal cloud servers), but I feel that, in 2022, this type of tool is not yet worth the risk. I hope this is just a temporary obstacle in our way to our future AI-assisted programming.

I assume you only ever use self hosted source control then? And then where is it hosted?

For private business code, yes? Of course.

It's very easy to host your own GitLab server if you need a fancy web interface, and even easier to just put Git anywhere if you don't.

Version control is probably the easiest thing to self host for both individuals and enterprises, but that's still very different from Copilot. A Git service provider will have access only to what I choose to push, but Copilot gets access to what I'm TYPING. It's scary, at least for me.
