  • I’m a FSE and I use GitHub copilot and Perplexity. I wouldn’t want to code without them anymore.

    I want to get things done (especially when I’m at work) and not spent time reading docs or having 20 tabs of stackflow open. I’ve had enough of that lol.

    I think everyone here knows copilot but perplexity is a lot smaller and newer. It’s basically like chatgpt but faster and it googles stuff, giving sources for each claim that I can read for myself.

    For example, for my latest project I decided to give tailwind a try and instead of having to look through the docs for every little thing I just ask perplexity and it sums it up for me, even giving examples.

    And I use copilot a lot for mundane tasks, for example when I write an API that takes an object of type Foo, Copilot auto Fills making variables and checking each for nulls and then I use that API in the frontend copilot already knows what I’m about to do and auto-fills the fetch.
