I've been getting a lot more misses than hits with Github Copilot, even when writing elementary math or utility functions; but despite its error I am nevertheless astonished at its approximation of intent.

Very eager to see Github Copilot catchup to some bright line of signal v noise.

I would say the reverse, I’m getting so many hits that I’m mindblown. And when it missed, I can generally still use that and fix the suggestion, as it’s faster.

It's a glorified autocomplete to me. It seems like it feeds me mostly things I'd get from searching Stack Overflow. The first day was pretty interesting but the novelty wore off quickly. You still need to grok what it spews out and see if it's correct.

And the worst thing about that is that you don't get the context of the Stack Overflow threads, where people discuss the impact of the given solution and alternatives. So after a week, off it went for me.

I'm constantly blown away with what it spits out even when its wrong. When it pulls in the greater context of the app and generates comments from scratch using the context of the file, its just incredible.

Do you use autocomplete, and would you say that it did a better job than autocomplete? If so why would you disable it?

I use autocomplete, but because of the async API calls it was slower than normal autocomplete.
