Using Copilot even as a mere coding assistance is insane, if no other reason than you’re sending all your code to Microsoft, and you also let them monitor your work habits in uncomfortably intimate details.
I’m using Copilot to help with bash scripting when I get stuck with the script. I’m aware they’ll be able to see all of my scripts but:
• I’m willing to share all of my scripts with anyone who wants them, so I’m OK with it, if MS can see them. They’re all FOSS literally and figuratively.
• Copilot is incredibly helpful with scripts, much more helpful than the 10 year old kid named ChatGPT. When I ask Copilot to explain a certain part of the script, it explains it in an understandable way, unlike quite a few other AIs.
I think so? I’m not an expert on the setup or agreement, just worked under that situation. I assume there’s a privacy agreement and some level of uptime commitment

Oh no, anyways.
Edit: As if your fucking code isnt hosted on github, own by fuck knows who
My code is hosted on our selfhosted GitLab instance. How many companies host their code on GitHub? I’m seriously asking…
Like, a lot, also vast majority of open source projects are on github.
Lots of startups. At least that’s been my experience. Github org with private repos
Does GitHub offer some sort of contract or agreement for those companies? Not an expert on these things, things like NDA’s, uptime guarantees, etc.

I guess upstarts are expected to cut corners.
Because if not, I feel like this could get the team in legal or at least financial hot water with investors.
Which doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, just that it’s not normal and okay.
Exactly. We’re not taking about hobby project anymore.
pacing data might be useful to pressure us more, later. its not just about the code.
