TLDR The video discusses the benefits and potential pitfalls of using Copilot for code completion, as well as providing tips for calculating frames per second and avoiding unnecessary memory allocations.

Key insights

🤖

Not everyone should use Copilot, as it is AI generation of code and can lead to bad development practices like comment-driven development.
🐛

There are bugs in CoPilot's time stamp unit and syntax error detection that can cause issues in code.
💻

Co-pilot can be helpful for code completion, but it's important to review and edit its suggestions to avoid errors.
💻

Co-pilot can create boilerplate code for developers, but sometimes it doesn't get it right on the first try.
🚀

CoPilot can be a great tool for experienced developers to quickly smash out boilerplate code.

Timestamped Summary

💻

00:00
Use Copilot wisely and avoid comment-driven development.
👉

00:55
Quicksort algorithm is fast but the implementation shown creates unnecessary memory allocations.
👨‍💻

01:49
The speaker explains how to calculate frames per second for video using Rust, while also discussing a bug in their code.
🐛

02:52
The code has bugs related to time stamp units, milliseconds conversion, and division by zero.
📝

04:16
Using co-pilot for code completion is helpful, but relying too much on it can lead to errors, so the speaker prefers to write their own functions.
💻

05:32
Copilot can generate accurate and efficient code by using logical boilerplate and defined parameters.
👨‍💻

06:26
Use co-pilot to generate boilerplate code for media objects with specific properties.
🤖

07:47
Copilot can be helpful for experienced developers with boilerplate, but may cause issues for juniors and its logic is often flawed.
