Dude I seriously spend more time curating my feed than I do enjoying it. Even here on reddit I had to disable the setting that makes your home feed into the curated feed. I wish that we had more control over it. At least on twitter you can block entire keywords and topics. Although... twitter is known as one of the bigger echo chambers. God.

If only that actually worked. Youtube has this and it does basically nothing. Recently they even made it so you can't dismiss music videos from your feed. Yesterday, out of the first six videos on my feed, 4 were music playlists. It's nice that the feature is there but it really only removes that single post.

I wasn't meaning you, but reddit really has a hate boner for Copilot and anyone who uses it.

The communication aspect is definitely lacking but you can use comments in your code to influence the suggestion. And you can also view alternative suggestions at the same time. Sometimes you need to clarify, or start one line with how exactly you want to go about things. Sometimes I just name the method and it autocompletes it based on the class name and method name. Sometimes it suggests new fields or alternative ways to do something and I change my methods to suit it.

Sometimes it's really hard to tell where the AI started writing and where I stopped. Really does feel like a copilot. I'd estimate anywhere from 40-60% of any given chunk of my code is AI written.

Edit for context: I make Minecraft Mods, Unity Games and Java based automation tools.

Github Copilot. Even just saying it I can feel the comments starting now.

"I tried it for a day. It just makes boilerplate. Not impressed"

It's saved me dozens of hours since I started using it last year.

I can't believe how many people are trying to use a chat bot to write code and expect it to work. Use a code bot.
