Experience: mixed. ChatGPT sometimes excels at "what's wrong with my code" and often excels at "convert this format to some other format" type of tasks. It's saved me a lot of time, especially the latter type of prompts. Sometimes though, it gives completely wrong answers (hallucination) even though they sound right and even given more prompts it can't arrive at the right solution, at which point I have to fall back to StackOverflow. In general it's probably improved my efficiency by ~5-10% because the random hallucination and the waste of time that leads to, definitely not a massive difference but helpful nonetheless.
I haven't tried Copilot because I don't see the $19/month they're asking as worth it. It's not too distracting for me to have chatgpt open on half of the screen and just copy/paste code between that window and my IDE, I don't see the integrated coding experience as that much better. Also, I don't find myself using generated code as-is most of the time so I don't need IDE integration, generated code merely provides a helpful starting point / a point of reference to get started writing code.
Never heard of Kagi or Dash. Kagi seems similar to DuckDuckGo. I find the search experience to be good when using Google + ChatGPT so I don't see much of a reason to switch - I'll admit that I prioritize user experience over privacy concerns most of the time (exception being financial stuff and when I'm building software for my own users :))
Looks like they lowered the price or something, I remember it being $20. Anyway, I just don't see the value in paying an extra $100 when what I'm doing right now is working for me. I mean, I'm able to launch a new product every few weeks - I think that's fast enough, I don't need to improve my coding efficiency much further at this point.

Copilot is $10 per month, $100 for a year if you pay upfront.

Been a subscriber since the start, was never $20.
Here is an article from June 2022. www.techtarget.com/searchsoft…
Same price as now.
Ok. I'm probably thinking of the business version which is ~$20 today
No, that one isn't $20 either. It is $30. www.theverge.com/2023/7/18/23…
Pricing is $19/month listed on the github website at least in my country - anyway, doesn't matter, I'm not paying for it
Weird - got a link or screenshoot?
Just want to see something :)
Yep: imgur.com/a/iuWVtJ6
I don't know why imgur says it contains adult imagery haha. Just click yes. It's a screenshot of the github copilot pricing ui
Ah, so you're talking about the business version, I'm talking about the individual version.
Yeah I got you. I was saying that I was thinking of the business version which is the one in the screenshot
I thought you meant business Copilot, the one for word and excel and all office 365 tooling
Oh, had no idea about that one. Also this long thread is breaking WIP haha. The input box is tiny now
