Created using free open source code, now you have to pay for it

[@v119-h2d]

The Microsoft way

[@italoseara]

as you said, the open source code is free, their work is not

[@pavkey88]

Better learning from open source than from the crap programming at my company

[@pavkey88]

Also totally worth it

[@yuceltoluyag]

Just because it's open source doesn't mean it's free.

[@haithem8906]

"has to have just like... few thousand stars" me with my 3 star repos

[@TigransTips]

you guys have stars?

[@mezdelex]

It was fun, now time to uninstall it 🥴

[@rayhanmahmudshihab]

Uninstalled a few mins ago

[@italoseara]

you can still use it for free until August 22

[@rayhanmahmudshihab]

@@italoseara That's the problem actually. First we get addicted to it then we can't live/work without it.

[@mezdelex]

@@italoseara to be honest, I didn't use it that much. I started to get anxious trying to actually type faster than the suggestion and I ended up in a situation where I didn't know if I was the pilot or the copilot myself. It stopped working properly a day or two due to sync problems and it was back then when I noticed that I was becoming too Copilot dependant 😅

[@JOELwindows7]

I have been using this to mod Friday Night Funkin. Idk, I am pecking disappointed, but yeah, what do you expect for Remotely Servered Software a.k.a. Service? Service is expected to be Paid and/or have ads. It's not like Local Instance Software. Idk. I wish we have super computer in a chip powerful enough to AI these all up so we don't have to pay someone's super computer anymore. Just locally have the power, no rely remote.

[@marc_gutii]

Trained with open source code, but now average users we have to pay to use it. This business model sucks. Microsoft can't deploy a enterprise version with more features and leave a free limited version for normal developers?

[@codefinity]

It's $10. Not $100/mo.

[@INeatFreak]

@@codefinity it adds up to 5-6 times that amount for 3rd world country users.

[@codefinity]

@@INeatFreak Ok. Sure, some companies do price parity based on location, so maybe that.

[@INeatFreak]

@@codefinity Yeah, that would be great but they won't do it because they won't get much profit from it. Just researched up the McDonalds salary in both US and my country and 5-6 times I've said above is an understatement. McDonalds offers 11 to 17$ per hour in US and only 1$ per hour in my country.

[@danielyrovas]

I'm glad I never invested in learning anything related to github copilot

[@krazymeanie]

Tough, missed out big time

[@lublugugle3275]

Why does "Embrace, extend and extinguish" sound like a conspiracy theory every time? Don't invest anything in their targets.

[@ilkrsrc081]

You can learn the usage of copilot in like 5 minutes. And this was by far the best extension that significantly improves my productivity.

[@_justnick]

there was nothing to learn about... You just installed it on your IDE/text editor and off you go

[@pavkey88]

Buddy you’re missing out

[@kamilcopur6513]

I got used to this AI very strong. I got sad because of ending beta😢

[@RugnirSvenstarr]

remember, if you are university student or have access to a student card/student email then you can still get it free

[@kamilcopur6513]

@@RugnirSvenstarr Yes but besides, I got afraid of the power of GPT-3 Open-ai. Currently I am an IT trainer but unfortunately I don't have any student e-mail or card. I am just taking a bootcamp...

[@martincerven]

Embrace, extend, and extinguish

[@RamonChiNangWong078]

more like "Exploit"

[@Don_XII]

Thanks Chris, I never tried this but probably for the better. Maybe for established devs who it can be handy at times. Even then, I don't see anyone who wants to get better depend on A.I. to code using this. It is also very odd that they are out of "beta" since the A.I. probably needs to keep improving. That would be on the back of the people who pay and popular open source projects which is probably why they give it to them for free, and PR stunt.

[@kamil10654]

Well, the time for tabnine has come...

[@alex-suciu]

tabine sucks compared to copilot, just saying

[@kamil10654]

@@alex-suciu yeah man I know, I don't want to use tabnine again, I am probably just better off without it. On the other hand, without Copilot I will do everything by myself, instead of using ready solutions

[@kamil10654]

@@alex-suciu although I never really use it much cuz I didn't want "copy/paste" inside IDE.

[@bondnikunj]

to be honest it deserves the payment. it is very powerful and will develop further to be a super tool.

[@codefinity]

Exactly. Everyone wants everything for free, when they use the shit to generate profit in some way. It's $10 a month. Cancel NetFlix, if you have to. Now, hopefully, with the pricing they can account for international parity. $10 can be significant in some parts of the world, but not in America. Most 'basic jobs' pay $13-$15/hr or more.

[@torquebiker9959]

Alright Mr. Microsoft.

[@kristun216]

Damn I've only used it for 3 days

[@DENMASYONO]

its very very sad....😅

[@magergaming8175]

Yeah me too bro, i've only used it for 3 days each Day Just 1 hour

[@DENMASYONO]

@@magergaming8175 I used it about 4 months, and almost 10 hours everyday...except weekend...

[@shadowplay1211]

i made an npm package that gets 15k downloads per week, is there a way to continue using copilot for free?

[@codefinity]

Possibly. They offer it free for significant open source developers - and students.

[@night64]

I never hated capitalism so much

[@italoseara]

copilot only exists because of it

[@Aphixx]

@@italoseara *the entire opensource codebase of the internet that trained copilot enters the chat*

[@miltonr87]

Oh man, thx for the video. I'm in the same boat!

[@stephenkamenar]

i have 3.3k stars and can't get it for free

[@chrisatmachine]

hmm maybe try reaching out to them, at the time when I got it for free I think my number 1 repo had like 7k something stars which is not a drastic difference. There may be other factors tho, maybe like outside contributions to big repos idk.

[@dipankarkumarsingh]

I have github student pack , still not getting free option .

[@tengun]

I have Copilot for free and I don't even know why, lol. My most popular project has 1 star.

[@chrisatmachine]

maybe you participate in a popular open source project in some way?

[@ImbraWolf]

ok tabnine is cool

[@ahmedjaber8595]

is there any way to get it for free after 22 aug ? (instead github student pack)

[@arnoldpatopaten2156]

the american pre loader!?!?!?!?!?

[@pkavenger9990]

Tabnine free version is crap.

[@FunWithBits]

weird - i posted several posts here but they keep disappearing.

[@chrisatmachine]

People seem to have this issue during livestreams too, idk what YT filters

[@thanhtrungnguyen1224]

Are there any extention like copilot 🤔

[@YaItxSmoothy]

There's alternative like tabnine or something
