AI coding assistant has transformed development speed and supports learning new languages
Any technology comes with two things, or rather anything in this world has both sides, good and bad. LLMs also have the same thing. The bad part is for a person who is 100% dependent on AI because they won't be able to learn more if they are 100% dependent on that. The main thing is that there has to be restraint from our side. I won't say it is from the tool side, but from our side, we need to learn and we need to work on it. We need to review the code. That is one thing that we need to do from our end. From a technology perspective, it is designed to help us out, and it is totally on our side of thinking about how exactly we are going to use that. There is not any area for improvement from the tool side, but it is from the users altogether. Users should not be 100% reliant on AI or any LLMs. They need to work on it and they need to review the code.

Business Software Developer at a tech services company
This is a RAD tool to build business apps, tables, and forms.
It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE. I would like to have the possibility to have a CE that lets me migrate from SQL Server Express, Access, and OpenOffice Base and keep all UI front-end development in just one system. In short, the 6.7 was good enough. The question is: Will there always be a desktop version CE that will let me work with, for example, five users for free, and then start to pay from user six, or in my case, three users? Right now, I do not see WaveMaker in this field, and there are others points to ask for from a desktop.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"GitHub CoPilot has helped me become more productive and efficient with assignments and projects, allowing me to complete coding tasks faster, spend less time on repetitive work, and focus more on problem-solving and learning how new concepts work."
"GitHub CoPilot is easy to set up as it only requires enabling certain settings."
"One metric I have noticed since adopting GitHub CoPilot is that once developers start using it, they are completing coding tasks 55% faster, which I consider a great achievement worth sharing."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward because it's pushed through the updates."
"GitHub Copilot can improve productivity by up to 40%, especially for experienced developers. Senior developers often spend more time reviewing code, which can make the code review process a bit longer."
"GitHub CoPilot helps us auto-complete code. The tool's context awareness benefits our projects because it identifies the context in which we are working and automatically proposes solutions that we use."
"It is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool to build business apps that lets you work with many diverse data stores and build tables and forms easily."
 

Cons

"To improve GitHub CoPilot, I believe the context window could be larger for better understanding of the current file, as it sometimes struggles with very deep structural relationships across hundreds of microservices."
"It would be useful if we could use the solution to create documents, not only prompts."
"There's room for improvement to ensure that suggestions align more precisely with the context of what I'm seeking, minimizing instances of unrelated or inaccurate code suggestions."
"The problem arises when a bot is not well-designed, which frustrates customers."
"GitHub CoPilot's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Some of the suggestions provided by GitHub CoPilot are not accurate, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It cannot be fully depended on to build every component and run a large enterprise application without significant human intervention."
"It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a tiered pricing model that starts with a free version for individual developers but requires a separate license fee for enterprise use."
"It's affordable."
"The pricing for GitHub Copilot is around ten dollars per month."
"We have a demo license. Once we understand what we'll do, we'll start with a paid license."
"GitHub Copilot is a paid service, costing approximately $6 per month. There might be a free trial available."
"GitHub CoPilot is less expensive than other solutions."
"A personal license is priced at ten dollars per month, while a professional or enterprise license costs nineteen dollars per user, and these rates are consistent for all users."
"GitHub CoPilot's pricing is reasonable. Our licensing costs were initially monthly, but then we switched to yearly payments. I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
