I think what a lot of people might have missed is Copilot voice and what it does for people with disabilities. I have been using speech to text myself a lot for long essays and assignments, The amount of work it took for me to code was one of the reasons I never got into it, but I literally just did a 180 right after the copilot voice announcement. And I'm going to get back into computer science.
Yeah translating between languages used to be a big deal. It was a daunting prospect. Now it’s almost trivial with GPT-4, it’s crazy. If a project isn’t too huge it almost doesn’t matter what language it’s in. Language bindings to for interoperability with other languages too, was a big deal until now.
I am a teacher that is burnt out front the classroom and I am looking to switching careers and getting into coding. This video is worth its weight in gold!!! Thank you sir!!!
I've coded a bit as a kid and done a career and business in other technical fields having never need to code anything. I understand the basics though and now with the AI tools I'm coding away things some useful little things I could not have even dreamt of in the beginning of December -22. 🤯
I think solo entrepreneurs will be the biggest benefactors of this. Coding is hard and finding funds to pay developers or finding a developer willing to work for free in exchange for stock stops a lot of would-be good business dead in their tracks. Now you can build your own MVP and prove PMF!
Duuuude, THAT is how you make an informational video! vast majority of these kinda vids i don't make it through and waiting for AI to knock them out. Yours adds value and is "tight". Two things most "talking heads" miss in a big way. Keep up the great work.
Travis, WHAT is that music in the outro lol?!! I must hear more! I am thrilled to have discovered your channel a few weeks ago. I'm even older than you (lol) and something about the way you phrase things and your tone has been clicking with me. It just feels like, "this is the guy I've been searching for, for a few YEARS now!" It's renewing hope and excitement for me that had been waning for some time. Thank you VERY much for what you do. It's making a big difference.
17:35 - "AI is something that developers will need to embrace. If you don’t embrace it you’re going to fall behind and you’re going to be replaced. All of this here is to enable us to be more efficient; to keep is from burning out and to enable us to do a better job."
I really wonder if you believe in this. Let's say a clients want to create an application X that requires features Y and Z, which would take 5 full-time developers 1 month to complete. So we need 20 days * 5 devs = 100 devdays. Now we have AI, which makes every developer work at 200% productivity. So we either need half of the employees or double the projects. How will the available programming work DOUBLE, when programming is now 2x easier than before and a lot of the straightforward things and basic websites can be done by a complete layman with a "co-pilot" in 2 minutes? How?
@@theawebster1505th of the outcomes you mention will apply… in some case half the number of developers will be required, but in other cases, twice the number of projects will be developed. AI will also empower smaller teams (including ‘teams’ of one) to develop projects that would previously have been beyond their available resources. The introduction of tractors into agriculture didn’t reduce the number of farm-hands; more were needed! Furthermore, more skilled people were needed to build and maintain tractors. Similarly, when PCs were introduced into business, it didn’t reduce the number of admin staff; it increased productivity and even more people were required to implement computer systems, support and maintain them, etc. I do agree that AI is somewhat different in this respect but, for the foreseeable future, I don’t see the number of developers reducing, although there may be a movement of developers into different areas of the ‘technology business’. This kind of movement typically leads to an increase in productivity and requirements.
AI will be great for Indie development I think. It's very difficult for solo/small group projects to get of the ground because of the time sink game development requires, and the potential for burnout after working on a project for so long leading to them never finishing. AI can potentially speed up the development process, making it easier to finish before running out of money, or before you get bored of the project. No to mention many of those "replaced" by AI may move on to becoming Indie devs as a result of no longer being able to pursue employment in game development.
I'm currently using chatGPT to learn game development. I'm an experienced developer, though, so the coding is not out of my realm of knowledge. It's actually helping me understand the structure of the video game code.
@@GoodByeSkyHarborLive I did go to school, but I wouldn't recommend the school I went to in particular. Also, I dropped out because I got my first dev job before graduating. School just allowed me to filter out all the other stuff I didn't need at the time when I was trying to self study. But python is a good language to start with if you're just trying to understand and learn to code. If you understand the concepts, it's pretty much transferable to any other language.
@@GoodByeSkyHarborLive so the questions you're typing out right now, just do the same thing as you are going through python and it'll come up with responses relevant to the question. It's not 100% correct all the time, but its responses are as good as any other human response, or better. I suggest you try it out. There's a free teir and a paid teir.
I agree with you but at the same time we cannot look the other way. This is monopolization of the entire software development workflow. Till this point you had a bunch of companies who competed for each of those markets, and they employed testers, fullstack devs, q & a, designers. It’s obvious that this will wipeout all those companies and devs working to solve this issues. For a senior it will be easier and faster to write what he needs instead of giving the tasks to some other human being, or meeting with them to explain what they need. Where you had 10 companies, employing devs, accountants, and some other staff, now you will have just one big tech company eating all the cake. I wonder how much time until they realize they are gonna wipe out the ones that were consuming and paying for their products 😂
You only see one side of the coin. The side of the big company's use of technology to squeeze out small players, but the other side is small guys are also using AI to empower themselves, and can do a lot of things that only big companies can do before, so it is very likely that those junior programmers who have been sacked because of ai , will in the future eat the lunch of big companies only with a studio of 3-5 people
It'd be cool if all code reviews were done by AI and you could just toggle a button to enter code review mode. Maybe even color code segments on the severity of the issue found.
This will no doubt helps devs but devs will tend to remember things less which in turn will give hardtime in clearing coding interviews to get new jobs. Developers' thinking ability will be reduced drastically. It is normal human tendency that when easy solutions are available then poeple take it rather than spend time in thinking more robust or creative solution.
This is a real dilemma, I think us entry level/student of CS should be balancing two things moving forward: 1) Self learning without AI 2) The business side: using AI to deliver results as fast as possible agree?
It is like telling Smart IDE platforms made developers dumber to those old generation developers who used notepad. Nothing will happen, AI devs are the real engineers. Every Other engineer is dumb who is just using those tools to make those business product to implement faster. With AI tools it will again be more faster to do build products, and it will make 1 engineer to do 3 engineers job. Let's see the chaos in future.
@@karl4813 For us who have that behind us and have been coding since the 90s but don’t have enough time or energy in the day to get done what we really want to do it will be heaven. It’s already so much better it makes it so much more enjoyable of an experience. I can see it hurting newbies though in a way yes. However there is a flip side in that it’s an amazing learning tool.
the thing to understand is this is literally only the beginning. The technology will improve significantly as time goes on. And in time it will be able to fully replace programmers/ Developers. When will that be? maybe 10 months? 1 to 2 years? or max 5. But eventually it will. This is AI were talking about. Its the only technology known to man that has the power and capability to surpass humans.
@@kikojoao5717 What are you getting at? You seriously think in 5 years a corporation won't be able to fire 90% of it's programmers and have the top 10% of their programmers just giving ChatGPT a handful of instructions to code some shit that would take their old team an entire day? lol. Hope you got some sick coding skills bruh or you gonna be dropping fries at Micky D's.
Wow... This video actually had a calming effect on me about the topic... That brush effect that transformed the code into readable If/elsif/else statements was my favorite feature. I'm working through you AWS and Python outline right now and this was a nice break.
I have been experimenting with copilot in my personal learning projects. I am curious if people use these tools at their companies? What are the privacy concerns as far as a company's trade secrets/code ownership?
For now we are not allowed to use these tools because of licensing and security concerns. They are reviewing if it is possible to adopt the new Copilot Business or some other options that could be trained and run internally.
I use copilot, but I wonder should i remove intellisense or any code completion extensions on vs code , i feel there might be some contention there on who is trying to suggest and display things on the editor?
Hey just explored your content yesterday. Saw you are recommending AWS certifications like the solutions architect. Are they better than azure ? What would be the Azure Certification Name for the AWS Solution Architect
Are there a ai tool which helps with software architecture: classes, functions, design patterns etc. ? Any tool which can do a complete software/web application with server side code based on text prompt?
I've used the ChatGPT straight from the OpenAI website to write several hundred lines of code in the last couple weeks. With direction and tweaking of it's suggested code, it can for the most part do everything you mention. One of the pitfalls of this, currently, is that it's using information up to September of 2021, and certainly changes have been made since then to many programming languages, although many are likely minor, this would still cause the end user to need to tweak things here and there. It also currently has limits to how much it can spit out to you at a time, so it's quite difficult for it to generate large projects all at once. In my personal experience thus far, it generally gives me up to around 100 or so lines of code per response, which often times is cut off in the middle of a line of code. The AI also does not always "continue that same train of thought" so it takes a bit of human finesse to figure out how to shlop the segments together properly if the ChatGPT didn't go off on a tangent. Overall, it definitely takes a human's interaction to really bring things together, but I can absolutely see it's abilities improving over the next year or two. If you'r'e interested, just hop over to chat.openai.com/chat and ask it questions. It's pretty amazing once you get used to it's little quirks.
If you use the GPT-4 model instead of gpt-3.5-turbo, all these restrictions go pretty much away. According to the “Sparks of AGI” paper and the RU-vid video discussing it, GPT-4 can write 500 to 1000 lines of code in one completion.

Is it necessary to use a github-repository to use the Copilot X? Or can I use it on the code of my local machine, which is in not any source control?
Not sure, we'll probably find out as they release more info. My thought would be that it's more than likely GitHub specific unless they open things up to plugins, extensibility, etc.
Great review. Still my opinion is that bad for programmers , if AI debugs , refactors , tells you what to type and even takes the keyboard from you which that exciting sound to it when you type ... if all that happens just in less than month you know you will be replaced in 5 years at most . That is a nightmare.
@@I_SMiRK There are still companies out there that are using Cobol or Turbo C++ or Windows XP. Some companies have to work with legacy code, and others cannot change, or do not have the will to change.
Question - if one subscribes to Github Copilot, will Copilot 365 eventually be part of it? Or are we talking about a different product (what I assume)?
The programmers who gets frustrated while coding maybe should think about changing the profession. There is some work which is frustrating. E.g. refactoring of complicated code or writing tests. But coding new features is the best part of the job.
This is all exciting stuff unless your corporation uses an internal Git server instead of GitHub, in which case this really is just something available to others, eventually.
So if your corp uses an internal Git server, that somehow prohibits any of it's developers from hopping on the OpenAI website and interacting directly with ChatGPT instead of within an IDE?
That's precisely what I do, I jump out to Chat-GPT Plus and interact there, then copy results down. It's not as seamless a developer experience as it could be though.
@@anthonyupson4535 A LOT of folks work within institutional LANs that have clear technical and often legal barriers that prevent using tools such as CoPilot.
I don't know anything about coding ..I want a app or say website application or website or program to make a app without any coding knowledge of. after watching your video I realise this app not for me .??? Is it iam right?
despite al the no code/low code and AI assisted tools in coding, you still are going to have to know how to code to actually utilize these tools effectively.
I think that you are suggesting that the speed of developing software is the main reason for using interpreted languages Python or Javascript. And using autocoder tools we can write C/C++ code very quickly. Maybe other similar languages like D and Rust would be good, because they are also compiled, and they have low level memory manipulation abilities as has C. We are already seeing new tools and technologies pulling the tide back onto the lower level languages, for example Webassembly, which enables us to run exe apps such as those written in C, C++, Rust, D, and assembly language, in the browser itself, without a need for installing anything.
The easier the language, the less probability of error in the code even for AI. If AI will generate C code, there may be a lots of memory leaks and the sw can become unmaintanable.
The standard estimate for the GPT tokenizers is 1 token ~ 0.75 words, so 32768 tokens would be about 24576 words. Add/subtract 5% to be on the safe side and you are somewhere in the [23350 .. 25800] interval for words, after some rounding.
Yeah the AI is here to "support" us, but I don't see how the demand will increase along with the increased productivity, especially in 5+ years time, it will simply only be the best of the very best (masters degree/phd, high IQ) individuals who do the vast majority of the work with the AI. This is all going to hell for us entry level devs, maybe even mid lvl devs.
It’s heaven for those who code in their jobs but aren’t titled as “developers”. I am one of those people, I use it to give me an edge at my work but I’m not a professional software dev. I’m also a hobbyist. It’s like a golden age for people like me. I might be more worried if I were a professional software engineer. However even then it’s uncertain if this will really be bad for them
@@vectoralphaSec All white collar office jobs are screwed. This type of technology isn't going to be limited to software development. It won't be long before we see models specifically tuned to healthcare, finance, engineering disciplines, accounting, etc. I hope it won't lead to mass unemployment, but I don't see how it won't. It wouldn't be such a bad thing if we had a meaningful safety net in place to help, but that will never happen in the United States.
Github Copilot is not at all helpful. I tried it and most of the time i use more time correcting the suggested code that writing code. Pure waste of time
