Why GitHub Copilot is not a Treat for your Job

GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer. It was trained with a huge coding database of common small routines. It also can recognize bad comments and create imperative code from them.

We can assume that the training set was filled with bad implementative commented code. We shouldn't rely much on the algorithm's declarative.

The problem copilot is solving right now tackles software main mistakes. Thinking of programming as just dealing with data instead of behavior.

Once we decide to grow up and build serious software instead of dealing with strings and dates, we will push our jobs a few years away from this fancy robot.
