   GitHub Copilot now has a free tier! This is very cool! I've been using it both at work and for personal projects, and it has been very valuable in saving me a lot of typing. I definitely do not use it as a full-on code generator, and that's really not what it is for, it's a helper (hence the name "co-pilot"). I hope other people find it useful as well.

     @waffles
     That's right. Especially when it learns about your own code base, and it starts tab completing your own variables and functions.

     @badnetmask I do find that tools like these help to remove the tedium of writing unit tests. So much repetition that these tools often get that right with a few well placed tab completions
