Is GitHub Copilot a Threat to Developers?

What are Github Copilot and AI Programmers for Everyone?

It may well be a threat to StackOverflow 😀

I have been using for months now, since beta and I believe it doesn’t bring a threat to Developers. In fact, it has helped me learn some frameworks I was not familiar with too much at my job and when I need to get some quick code out there, it helps me set the base and then I go and modify it or I just follow along with its suggestion but do not tab over for the suggestion to be implemented. It is of course not perfect but its impressive enough to the point that it has helped me to stay focused and on track when I am coding.
I think its how we perceive it and use it within our developer workflows.

Tabnine is better and more secure IMO.

Yes, it steals our open source code.
