Deep dives
AI-powered programming aid Copilot revolutionizing coding productivity
GitHub's programming aid called Copilot, which uses generative AI to suggest coding solutions, has become immensely popular among developers. With 1.3 million paid accounts and 50,000 different companies using the software, almost half of all code produced by users is AI-generated. However, the consensus is that human oversight is crucial as these AI programs still require collaboration with programmers. Copilot allows programmers to work more efficiently and abstracts away complexity, particularly benefiting younger and novice coders.
