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

"The solution increases coding efficiency."
"The platform's most valuable feature is its code suggestion capability, which leverages AI to provide context-aware suggestions."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Copilot is highly recommended for everyone."
"The most valuable aspects in terms of features, revolve around its code generation capabilities."
"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 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."
"When I write code, I feel like I have someone sitting with me to help me. Wherever I'm stuck, I just ask a question, and it provides guidance that I can use."
"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

"If the tool could focus on specific lines where changes are suggested, it would save time and reduce server load."
"Sometimes, if it is a bigger piece of code, it breaks in between."
"They could simplify the API integrations and allow us to automate certain tasks using our own server without just logging into the web page."
"They could improve the product in terms of integration with other tools."
"Sometimes it requires multiple iterations to get the code I need, like for creating a login page with specific buttons and logic."
"The suggestions provided by the product must be improved."
"There are no extensions provided by the product for Eclipse."
"In certain instances, OpenAI didn't respond in the expected way. The responses were more general and didn't address the specific point."
"It needs a desktop version for developers with license type CE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"A personal license is priced at ten dollars per month, while a professional or enterprise license costs nineteen dollars per user, and these rates are consistent for all users."
"We have a demo license. Once we understand what we'll do, we'll start with a paid license."
"GitHub CoPilot's pricing is reasonable. Our licensing costs were initially monthly, but then we switched to yearly payments. I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"We have a license but need another one for the GitHub CoPilot tool."
"It's affordable."
"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."
"GitHub CoPilot is less expensive than other solutions."
