It's good at writing new code, with sufficient prompting. But the big open question as of now for engineering orgs is - can it edit existing code like developers, just by instructions. Is there any hands on experience anyone has on copilot-x?
It is extremely good once the code has been organised and an overall structure exists. But until then it can be a distraction.
I’m hopeful for -x version though.
Literally unusable.
I'm a fan of copilot - but no way in hell is it a 10x tool. It's probably 1.2x - which is a huge gain for such a cheap tool.
I've only played around with faux pilot and it seemed that it was mostly limited by my prompting skill.
Also, is copilot aware of anything outside of currently edited file?
For best results, pasting any relevant documentation into the prompt can help.
I got 8k access pretty quickly but no word whatsoever about 32k (and my current prompts + context already reach 8-9k tokens)
Btw, a line of code is around 7-8 tokens. So you can fit over 4,000 LoC in the context window.
