Anyone who tried
Copilot
yet? Is it possible for it to suggest anything other than “public” code? i.e. could I say something from our actual code base like “Use PaymentHistoryApiClient to fetch latest payment, then query PaymentHistoryDao for latest 20 items, calculate a diff between the two, and if there is something new, show a notification”? Or is it meant just for stuff like “Throwup binary search over this collection”?

I’m using copilot for quiet some time now. Its a somewhat more sophisticated Intellisense approach. So it even can write hundreds of lines of code for you (which is quiet rarely). But in my opinion Copilot mainly shines when writing tests, as most of the test functions are somewhat similar to each other, and copilot detects the similarities quiet fast, plus it often derives the entire test function only from the name. tl;tr nice tool - but somewhat overrated for everything beyond tests. Still a “technology” one should keep an eye on as it evolves

okay so it doesnt know my domain in general, just locally when it can infer a pattern?
