Oh an my brain farts with the pricing structure, the 30 days free and $10 a month tier is abolutely fine... I"m just challenged at times... so my apologies to Microsoft on that mini rant. ;)

@TWKPixelHero

Copilot pro costs $10.  That first 30 days thing was just telling you that the cost was $0 for the first month.  It's the opposite of what you complained about.  Rather than showing the intro price and hiding the normal cost, they were showing the normal cost and hiding the intro cost.

@xwize

They want your data

@GoblinArmyInYourWalls

Wouldnt touch this with a ten foot nested VM stack

@SimeonRadivoev

They want to hook you in, so you get use to it and once it's gone you hopefully will pay to continue using it. Classic.

@gokudomatic

80 code completions per day is not much when you work 8 hours coding a day. I guess I'll still stick to local ollama.

@IElial

I didn't read the licence of Copilot, but does using it imply that you're also giving away your code to copilot so it can train on it ?

@P3d3r0s0

I can't help thinking that they are already reading all my code even without the copilot extension, the free tier only makes me be more paranoid. With the NDA's i usually get for creating company code i wonder if or when will there be a lawsuit.

@phizc

Is 2000/month 80/day enough? Depends on what they consider a code completion. Does it count if it's just the suggestion, or only after you accept the suggestion by hitting tab or whatever? If the former, you'll hit the limit in no time sinfe you get a suggestion if you stop typing for mote than a few seconds, but even if it's just accepted completions, it won't take long to use them up. It's just so gosh darn useful (hey YT). I saved many hours of typing just the first evening I played with it.

@ratpacked99

Using Copilot is a one fine way to cripple yourself as a programmer, even if it was free, the main cost of such tools is the eventual loss of skill.

@hundvd_7

80 a day is nothing. I use it at work. I don't have statistics, but I'm guessing I'd use around 500-2000 per day.

I accept a fraction of those, for sure. But Copilot still does the calculation.

@ChrisMoody

After the first 30 days, the Pro plan is $10 USD a month

@SFgamer

Surprised but happy to hear the news.

@ulrich-tonmoy

VS Code should have make copilot an extension and give these feature needed for the copilot to all extension api so that cursor and windsurf also use that to build an extension rather than a fork that would made vs code more powerful as people would be able to create better extension but nah they goona make vs code their copilot editor

@benoitrousseau4137

Yeah... I would read the contract before using that thing. I suspect they're doing it because they finally ran out of open source code to feed their model.

@brodendangio4810

Would love to hear how to best integrate Github Co-Pilot into a Unity workflow. Currently using Microsoft Visual Studio (which I think is the default most use). Haven't used Jet Brains Rider in the past due to the pricing, though I think non-commercial recently went free. How effective would Visual Studio Code be with integrating with Unity (and Copilot)?

@LarkyLuna

I thought you meant they were promoting a version of github free of all the copilot bs

@nathanmiguel76

☠ Hello ladies and gentlemen!

😇Its mike...

@RandomGuyyy

That thing is so telepathic it's scary. You type a few characters and the autocomplete damn near reads your mind.

@AntiHeroGameStudio

Jetbrains' build in auto complete is more than enough when it comes to unreal engine at least.
