The way it learns my coding patterns and completes my code makes me 10 times more effective and productive. I do not have to write the same repetitive code again and again. My projects are completed a lot faster and I can focus more on writing logic rather than typing the code. > > **Cons**: It might be a little expensive but it is 100% worth the price. ----- ### "Sparks creativity and saves time" — 5.0/5 > **Amr** | *03 April 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: There's no questions that using increase productivity and makes coding interesting and fast. My students love using it in their class and it helped us save time by focusing on learning new coding techniques and capture any errors. The use of Copilot sparked creativity because now students focus on the solutions, not the codes > > **Cons**: It's not a disadvantage per se but I wouldn't recommend using it with beginners because it might students to become lazy and miss important milestones in their learning. I would delay introducing Copilot until students have a good grasps of the module and understand the basics. Also you should be aware that some of suggestions aren't free from issues and students should discuss the quality of them, whici is again not a disadvantage and might lead to some interesting conversations in class. ----- ### "The ultimate tool for developers" — 5.0/5 > **Roshish** | *18 September 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Copilot helps me code 10x faster. It learns your coding pattern and writes your code just as you would. It does all the basic tasks for me while I can focus more on the important parts. > > **Cons**: It might give you wrong code sometimes and might add extra brackets at the end of the autocompletion. The price might be a little high but its really worth it for all that it does. > > Saves me a lot of time and makes me 10x efficient. ----- ### "Your Coding buddy" — 5.0/5 > **Aarin** | *25 January 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Github copilot has been one the best coding assistant in my coding career. It generates code based on your coding style. Copilot has helped me to save a lot of my time since it generates recurring code. With just the press of tab i can complete my whole code.
