GitHub Copilot Workspace didn’t work on a super simple task regardless of how easy I made the task. I wouldn’t use something like this for free, much less pay for it. It sort of failed in every way it could at every step.

    The amount of copilots are getting out hand, are people able to keep track of all of them?

    The copilot autocomplete and copilot chat are great QoL tools, but trying to have it generate complete PR for a given issue seems… optimistic.

    I’m surprised Matthew concludes that it might actually be useful for some people honestly.

      yeah, who knows - some people might rather waste time fighting a language model than actually learning things…

      it’s too early for something like this imo, but maybe in a few years it serves a purpose
