GitHub refounded on co-pilot

GitHub has announced their refounding on co-pilot, an AI tool that assists with writing code. Co-pilot can write functions, suggest variables and fill in code snippets based on existing code, making it a valuable tool for developers. GitHub plans to expand co-pilot's capabilities beyond code writing to include tasks like writing tests and documentation. While some may have concerns about relying heavily on AI for code development, co-pilot has proven to be a useful addition to the development process.
