For my link archive: 8 things you didn’t know you could do with GitHub Copilot | The GitHub Blog
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/03/28
Hopefully by now I have given GitHub Copilot so I can put this link from a while back into more perspective: [Wayback/Archive] 8 things you didn’t know you could do with GitHub Copilot | The GitHub Blog.
I saved it for my link archive as these thought processes take me a while. The conceptual thing here is if I want to pay for products that harvest profit from the enormous time and effort invested by open source authors (in this case even after the fact, as there was no way to opt out while most of the harvesting took place). See my earlier post On my list of extensions to try in vscode: tab nine.
An alternative for parts of GitHub Copilot might be the (then working title) TLDR from [Wayback/Archive] Beyond Code (German and have the domain beyondco.de).
