alt Hacker News"Both GitHub and outside researchers have observed positive impact in controlled experiments and field studies where Copilot has conferred:
55% faster task completion using predictive text
Quality improvements across 8 dimensions (e.g. readability, error-free, maintainability)
50% faster time-to-merge"
how is time-to-merge a vibe?
The subject is productivity. Time to merge is as useful metric as Lines of Code to determine productivity. I can merge 100s of changes but if they are low quality or incur bugs, then it's not really more productive.
