Programming

I am a data scientist and we use databricks which has copilot (I think) installed by default. So with this we have an autocomplete which I use the most because it can do some of the tedious steps for an analysis if I write good comments which I do anyhow. This is around 50% accurate with it being the most accurate for simple mindless things or getting the name of things correct.

There is code generating block tool that I never use. There is also a something that troubleshoots and diagnosis any error. Those are mostly useless but has been good to finding missing commas and other simple things. Their suggestions sometimes are terrible enough that I mostly ignore this.

We have a Copilot bot as part of our Github (I don't know is this standard now?) that I actually enjoy and has uses. It writes up great summarizes of what code was commited which has a great format and seems almost 100% accurate for me. Most importantly it has a great spellchecker as part of their suggestions. I am a terrible speller and never double check names so it can fix them both in the notes and in my code (It fixes it everywhere in the code which is nice). The rest of the suggestions are okay. There are some that are useful but some that are way off or overengineered for what I am doing. This I like because it just comes in at the end of my process and I can choose to accept or deny.
