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

"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."
"The product is easy to integrate."
"The solution increases coding efficiency."
"Things which were taking like two days are now finished within half an hour."
"In terms of understanding user queries and providing code that aligns with my expectations, there is room for improvement."
"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."
"I can upload code snippets or class files and ask for solutions to improve them, which works well. It's a great productivity tool that saves me time searching websites. While there are alternatives like ChatGPT and other AI tools, the advantage of the tool is that it is built into the IDE."
"The document generation features are valuable."
"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

"The solution's accuracy and relevance could be improved."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"The limitation is based on the training dataset and the number of repositories."
"They could enhance the product's accuracy of suggestions, especially when dealing with non-standard or legacy code."
"The tool must improve its ability to work with multiple files."
"In a few cases, the results aren't correct, so that needs improvement. Also, it would be great if the results could be presented in different formats, not just text. As engineers, it takes time to read through text-based results."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The technology offered by the product in the retail industry and banking processes has certain shortcomings, making them areas that can be improved."
"It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's affordable."
"The pricing for GitHub Copilot is around ten dollars per month."
"We have a license but need another one for the GitHub CoPilot tool."
"There is a need to pay around 10 USD to be able to use the solution."
"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."
"GitHub CoPilot comes readily available for enterprise customers, so it's a free add-on if you already have GitHub's enterprise license."
"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."
"The product offers a free version and a paid version. Whether to choose the product's free version or paid version depends on the size of the company where it will be used."

Questions from the Community

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for GitHub CoPilot?
For now, I think it is okay. It is not that expensive. The kind of use that I am having with a $20-30 license, I think it is really of really good help.
What needs improvement with GitHub CoPilot?
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 hundre...
