AI coding assistant has transformed development speed and supports learning new languages
Any technology comes with two things, or rather anything in this world has both sides, good and bad. LLMs also have the same thing. The bad part is for a person who is 100% dependent on AI because they won't be able to learn more if they are 100% dependent on that. The main thing is that there has to be restraint from our side. I won't say it is from the tool side, but from our side, we need to learn and we need to work on it. We need to review the code. That is one thing that we need to do from our end. From a technology perspective, it is designed to help us out, and it is totally on our side of thinking about how exactly we are going to use that. There is not any area for improvement from the tool side, but it is from the users altogether. Users should not be 100% reliant on AI or any LLMs. They need to work on it and they need to review the code.

Business Software Developer at a tech services company
This is a RAD tool to build business apps, tables, and forms.
It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE. I would like to have the possibility to have a CE that lets me migrate from SQL Server Express, Access, and OpenOffice Base and keep all UI front-end development in just one system. In short, the 6.7 was good enough. The question is: Will there always be a desktop version CE that will let me work with, for example, five users for free, and then start to pay from user six, or in my case, three users? Right now, I do not see WaveMaker in this field, and there are others points to ask for from a desktop.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"GitHub Copilot can improve productivity by up to 40%, especially for experienced developers. Senior developers often spend more time reviewing code, which can make the code review process a bit longer."
"The platform's most valuable feature is its code suggestion capability, which leverages AI to provide context-aware suggestions."
"The solution's most valuable features are context awareness, multi language support, integration with popular IDs like Visual Studio Code or JetBrains, and reduced coding time."
"GitHub CoPilot is easy to set up as it only requires enabling certain settings."
"The initial setup of the product is easy."
"The document generation features are valuable."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management features."
"Copilot is integrated into my environment, providing the context and the bigger picture of how the code is used throughout the project."
"It is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool to build business apps that lets you work with many diverse data stores and build tables and forms easily."
 

Cons

"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."
"It would be useful if we could use the solution to create documents, not only prompts."
"An improvement for GitHub CoPilot would be making the suggestions more accurate in complex or large-scale projects, especially when there are many dependencies."
"There are no extensions provided by the product for Eclipse."
"The tool must improve its ability to work with multiple files."
"Sometimes it requires multiple iterations to get the code I need, like for creating a login page with specific buttons and logic."
"To improve GitHub CoPilot, I believe the context window could be larger for better understanding of the current file, as it sometimes struggles with very deep structural relationships across hundreds of microservices."
"While I don't see immediate room for improvement, one suggestion is for Copilot to provide specific suggestions for certain lines of code instead of rewriting entire sections."
"It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a demo license. Once we understand what we'll do, we'll start with a paid license."
"We have a license but need another one for the GitHub CoPilot tool."
"The product offers a free version and a paid version. Whether to choose the product's free version or paid version depends on the size of the company where it will be used."
"There is a need to pay around 10 USD to be able to use the solution."
"The pricing is reasonable. I think it is 10 USD per user."
"GitHub CoPilot comes readily available for enterprise customers, so it's a free add-on if you already have GitHub's enterprise license."
"The product has a tiered pricing model that starts with a free version for individual developers but requires a separate license fee for enterprise use."
"GitHub CoPilot is less expensive than other solutions."
