GitHub has not too long ago launched a free tier for Copilot, so now there’s completely no motive to not strive it out. I made a decision to present it a go on some day-to-day coding to see how rather more productive it’s than coding by hand.
To be sincere, I reasonably 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 shocked how fast and simple it was — significantly faster than coding by hand. Subsequent, I created a Streamlit app that concerned a bit of information 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 observe alongside it’s worthwhile to set up the extension and browse the directions on the best way to get began with it. Copilot helps different editors as nicely however VSCode is presently my editor of alternative.
I’ll get to the visualization and Streamlit code shortly, however first, let’s have a look at the methods we will use Copilot.
