Marco Rogers polotek

This gist is meant to go along with a twitter thread. You can find that thread here.

I spent some time discussing my experience with Github Copilot. I talked about some of the social implications of this tech. But I also wanted to show examples of how it worked. In some cases, the experience was pretty surprising.

Because the code screenshots on twitter are not very accessible, I've created this gist to capture the code samples. And I've included some of my commentary in code comments.
