GitHub has not too long ago launched a free tier for Copilot, so now there may be 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 way more productive it’s than coding by hand.
To be sincere, I moderately like coding by hand so I haven’t used AI to generate code to any nice extent. I feel that is going to alter.
Initially, I solely used Copilot for easy coding duties and I used to be pleasantly shocked how fast and straightforward 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 person 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 have to set up the extension and browse the directions on get began with it. Copilot helps different editors as effectively 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 are able to use Copilot.
