Ask HN: Professional devs, what has been your experience using Codex/Co-pilot?

3 points by KennyFromIT 4y ago ↗ HN

I haven't had a chance to use either of these tools yet, but I'm interested to learn from those who have. All I see are articles and tweets saying how amazing they both are, but I haven't really heard updates from software development professionals about how well (or not) this is working for them on a daily basis. What has your experience been like? How has it impacted your workflow? Is this a fad or will it have staying power in your opinion?

I mostly work with react/react native and, in the past couple weeks that I’ve been using Copilot, most of the times its suggestions are good, but can’t be used without changing a few things here and there.

It’s pretty impressive for a technical preview, but it didn’t make my workflow any different. I’m sure devs working with other technologies have different experiences.
