I kinda hope loca models become or are available that capture the best of what is available ot whats coming tho.
It took a while for me to warm up to it but their code generation alone has been a huge positive for me as well as its abillity to edit code to make it work. I wouldnt trust it for anything super important or at least not without testing out all the gamut of edge cases to ensure its consistently doing what I want and outputting as expected but I use it regularly to spec a solution to smaller problems that i can immediately test and feed back to it if theres issues
“Loca models” such a great typo
Patent pending
Yeah copilot has gotten to a point where entire defect fix pull requests can be neatly and concisely created and don't need humans to polish it up half the time. Refactors about a third of the time and new features about a tenth of the time. This is with TDD/tests first. Even when it doesn't one-shot the entire work, it saves considerable time and increases productivity which is something that only a few months ago was a marketing dream.
In software it helps far more than it hinders now if you pick the right model for the job. At work, the bottleneck is starting to become reviews rather than the implementation of work.
