You can make your point without being an asshole about it.

So you sitting there in your cozy armchair know better than somebody in the industry?

Come on, don’t be an asshole.

As somebody who has been trying to decided which of the RAW photo editors to use, I can tell you that Darktable has a steep learning curve over Lightroom. The UI is incredibly dense and the names of sliders don’t make sense unless you’re an image science expert.

How the fuck is this relevant?

Nope. Late forties desk jockey. I ain’t throwing anybody anywhere.

He could actually be patriotic for all I know but he has tried to enrich himself and his buddies at the expense of the public before so I trust him about as far as I could throw him.

He’s a Conservative douchebag in general.

Yeah you’re running a big risk with random keyboards from AliExpress. It’s better to spend a little more and buy a known budget brand like RoyalKludge.

And then once you’re truly hooked you can spend half your next paycheque on a premium brand keyboard. 😉

I’m a professional software dev and I use GitHub Copilot.

It’s most useful for repetitive or boilerplate code where it has an existing pattern it can copy. It basically saves me some typing and little typo errors that can creep in when writing that type of code by hand.

It’s less useful for generating novel code. Occasionally it can help with known algorithms or obvious code constructs that can be inferred from the context. Prompting it with code comments can help although it still has a tendency to hallucinate about APIs that don’t exist.

I think it will improve with time. Both the models themselves and the tools integrating the models with IDEs etc.
