GitHub Copilot experiences

2024-12-25 19:24:32.795166+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

I'm seeing a lot of "LLMs will be amazing when" and "are showing promise". We're now past the initial swarm of obviously scammy things like "personal assistants" which would have been amazing if they delivered what was promised, but ya could tell they were scams because they bundled some unrelated technology along with it. Now we're deep into something else, and I'm offering even more side-eye at people who are telling me how amazing these things are.

Which brings me to this long post by David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*) @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange that goes into attempting to use GitHub Copilot.
