It's absolutely fantastic. I feel disabled coding without it in my spare time. Imagine a pair programming session with someone that can read your mind and knows the entire codebase. I don't know how much I'm allowed to talk about so I'll leave it at that.
I don't have access to copilot so I can't compare but I'd wager it works a lot better for Google internally because the training data is customized to Google.
- kidintech 3y agoI'm at Google and am not entirely sure what you are referring to, but I'd love to try it. Could you provide an internal codename I could search for? Or is it integrated somewhere in Cider (the name is public knowledge so I'm not leaking anything by using this) that you could guide me to (i.e. X dropdown -> 3rd option) while preserving ambiguity?
- gardenhedge 3y agoGooglers.. please take it to internal comms.

- deelly 3y agoRelax, they just bragging.
- underdeserver 3y agoIt's not trivial to find the person talking. Why does a comment or two bother you so much?
- gardenhedge 3y agoIt's a conversation that isn't relevant to anyone outside the company. One commenter, who may or may not work in Google, is asking for an internal codename. You're the downvoter here so why does my comment bother _you_ so much?
- PawgerZ 3y agoOn any other "social media" they would be great comments, but they're not really in the spirit of Hacker News.
- heyoni 3y agoI miss the days when google was super open with their new tech :/
- Aurornis 3y agoI’m fascinated that of two people working at the same company, one raves about how an internal tool is a complete game changer and indispensable while another isn’t even aware it exists.
- kidintech 3y agoI'm fascinated that at a 175k employee company, two employees I know nothing about, in business areas or positions I know nothing about, could possibly use different tooling for their day to day duties. *Surely* at your place of work, the cleaning staff is familiar with the CTO's dearest tools and vice versa?
- hamdouni 3y agosurely at my place of work, there is no cleaning staff and no CTO.
- Aurornis 3y agoThat’s an unnecessarily snarky answer given the two people above are clearly both in similar roles. The parent comment was asking where to find the option in the tooling they both shared. Snarky replies comparing CTO to cleaning staff don’t even begin to apply.
- exitheone 3y agoShoot me a mail to e-hackernews[at]wthack.de so we can connect less publicly.
- bmoxb 3y agoInteresting, I didn't find it that impressive when I tried it a couple months ago and fairly quickly went back to regular old-fashioned autocomplete. What language(s) were you working with out of curiosity?
- exitheone 3y agoNo idea how good other languages are but Java in cider-v is very nice.
