Ask HN: How do you use copilot?

1 pointsby ishbaidabout 2 years ago
As developers, I know we need to keep up with best industry practices.<p>For me, I really want to learn how to harness the full power of copilot. How do you use it? Where is it helpful? Where is it not?

As a best practice, if you&#x27;re being paid to write code you should make sure your corporate lawyers are okay with rolling the dice with these tools. The number of legal unknowns here is astounding.<p>Using randomly generated code with dubious copyright and licensing information is an excellent way to be ridiculed on the Internet for the rest of your life. Rightfully so.<p>The world doesn&#x27;t need another generation of developers too stupid and lazy to implement leftpad. It desperately needs real innovators creating genuinely new things. AI might help with labor intensive tasks, but it&#x27;s far cry from what the hype makes it out to be.
