Enhancing the GitHub Copilot ecosystem with Copilot Extensions, public beta

How incredibly underwhelming. I guess this is the Copilot equivalent of "GPTs".

I really enjoy Copilot and got excited about new features for it but this does not at all seem useful and borderline dangerous/stupid.

I'm sorry what? If someone doesn't know how to do that then they have no business running (or worse yet letting a LLM run) a command like that.

Something like "Respect my ESLint/prettier/<insert linting tool here> settings when generating code" would be useful but these extensions all seem next to useless. I don't want to chat about my Jira tickets in my IDE, I want to write code. I'll go to Jira to look at tickets, I don't want to have to second-guess everything the LLM spits out and somehow I think "Well the LLM said that's what the ticket said to do" isn't quite going to cut it.

I still think Copilot is the best option for "code completion++" but this offering seems like a whole lot of nothing.

GitHub CoPilot has lost the war to Cursor.
