Level up with Copilot

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Claims that GitHub Copilot (backed by OpenAI Codex) helps engineers level up by generating code from comments, translating languages, and explaining snippets; demos show a tweet posted to Twitter and Mastodon via Tweepy and Mastodon‑py, a to‑do app that adds and deletes items generated live, movie‑to‑emoji and color‑to‑hex examples, and code translation/explain features in Copilot Labs. Notes limits too — occasional wrong API calls, missing parens, and a cited 1% chance of matching public code; works in Codespaces, VS Code, JetBrains, and Neovim.
