GitHub Copilot isn't worth the risk
Seems this article completely misses the benefits of copilot. Its a massive step forward in productivity. For me, its about suggesting proper syntax across the various libraries we use. It really does cut time by 10s of percent.<p>I don't buy the argument that the risk of a yet-to-be-litigated case against a different company, who will certainly fight this hard; is greater than the productivity gain of using copilot.<p>Additionally, the security argument feels ridiculous to me. We lift code examples from gists and stackoverflow ALL THE TIME! But any good dev doesn't just paste it in and go, instead we review the code snippet to ensure its secure. Same thing with copilot, of course its going to write buggy/insecure code, but instead of going to stackoverflow for a snippet its suggested in my IDE and with my current context.
