tell me why i am supposed to hate itmy friend loves it
what fresh faggotary is this?
>>103217853it's the AI vscode thing
It's good, the main danger is being like me and ending up accepting changes in too large chunks without taking the time to review them because "hey, it works" and then find out that you don't understand any of your code anymore and spend longer than it should take to fix it while often finding some really dumb things that snuck in there.That said, with the last Copilot update, I'm not sure how much more it still has to offer.
>>103217861nope, a big fucking nope
>>103217864what changed with copilot?
>>103217905Instead of just having the regular old Copilot, it now lets you choose between more models (picrel).The search in your codebase (similar to what Cursor is doing) is also more useful, and the automatic change insertion got much better.There's a lot of throttling, but if you qualify for a Github student account (i.e. have access to any school email, whatever it is), it's free.
just use the bolt.new forkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ommGcs_-VU
>>103217987Does it have a composer like cursor? If not it's still shit. The fact they took this long just to catch up to the basic features Cursor provided tells me copilot's team is retarded
>>103218850I don't remember the Cursor composer, is it like Claude Artefacts or GPT Canvas? Copilot lets you have a working set of about 10 files or so, but it also makes it possible to add additional information, and even though the working set size is limited, if you don't put the right files in, it will just go ahead and modify others you haven't added anyway or create new files, which can be useful or frustrating, depending.I was about to renew my Cursor subscription, but now I don't know how much I needed, since I like GPT o1 preview, and Cursor just offers the mini. It's possible to add an api key, but when you pay per token, it's less tempting to just add a buckload of context.
>>103218939It's basically multi-file code generation. It'll generate the files needed to fulfill your ask and fill or edit them as needed
>>103217836Your friend also loves sucking cocks.
>>103219161Yeah, it does then. Half of the time it makes you feel like a genius, and the other half a failure, but it does have that. Cursor felt a bit smarter, but I don't feel like I need it now. The part that sucks is seeing how a large company can put a lot of startups out of business - not saying that Cursor will fail, but it will probably eat a lot of the market from it and the other competitors. It's Internet Explorer bundled with Windows again.
>>103217836Honestly it felt great until I blew through the 500 fast generations a month, after that it asked me to double the subscription price or stand in line like some sort of unwashed plebeian.Fuck you I'm not paying that shit.
>>103217987Is o1 any good?For me it felt like it could make much more code in one go, which is of dubious utility, since I can just prompt it multiple times (the reasoning gimmick is not that useful right now, I can reason just fine, I'm using the AI to figure out obscure APIs not to think through babby tier problems)
>>103221047>stand in line like some sort of unwashed plebeianYou still get the "premium" models, just in the slow lane which isn't slow 90% of the time you use it. You only get deprioritized when there's a heavy load, but I've rarely run into that in the evenings
>>103221060It's the best I know. Sonnet is good, but it will say that I'm right even if I'm wrong, and because it's an asshole Gemini will say I'm wrong even if I'm right (and it will say that the right thing is something completely nonsensical).o1 can generate a lot to explain, and if you give it enough context, logs, etc., it's good. I'm lazy and not a programmer by trade, so sometimes I ask for complete code without placeholders as well, which it can do.For simple things, it looks magical can can be, but there seems to be a complexity threshold after which you can't just blindly copy paste whatever it gives you. Still useful.
