GitHub has lately launched a free tier for Copilot, so now there may be completely no cause to not attempt it out. I made a decision to offer it a go on some day-to-day coding to see how way more productive it’s than coding by hand.
To be trustworthy, I quite like coding by hand so I haven’t used AI to generate code to any nice extent. I believe that is going to vary.
Initially, I solely used Copilot for easy coding duties and I used to be pleasantly stunned how fast and straightforward it was — significantly faster than coding by hand. Subsequent, I created a Streamlit app that concerned a bit of knowledge evaluation, after which I let Copilot make it extra interactive by including consumer interface controls. All this with out me writing a single line of code!
I used Microsoft VSCode and added the GitHub Copilot extension, so, if you wish to comply with alongside you should set up the extension and skim the directions on the right way to get began with it. Copilot helps different editors as nicely however VSCode is presently my editor of selection.
I’ll get to the visualization and Streamlit code shortly, however first, let’s take a look at the methods we will use Copilot.
