Risk Assessment of GitHub Copilot

0xabad1dea, July 2021

this is a rough draft and may be updated with more examples

GitHub was kind enough to grant me swift access to the Copilot test phase despite me @'ing them several hundred times about ICE. I would like to examine it not in terms of productivity, but security. How risky is it to allow an AI to write some or all of your code?

Ultimately, a human being must take responsibility for every line of code that is committed. AI should not be used for "responsibility washing." However, Copilot is a tool, and workers need their tools to be reliable. A carpenter doesn't have to

XDG - Base Directory Specification

Directories

Base

The intended use-case for BaseDirectories is to query the paths of user-invisible standard directories that have been defined according to the conventions of the operating system the library is running on.

Summary

Use useState:

if you manage JavaScript primitives as state
if you have simple state transitions
if you want to have business logic within your component
if you have different properties that don’t change in any correlated manner and can be managed by multiple useState hooks
if your state is co-located to your component
if you’ve got a small application (but the lines are blurry here)

	echo "Usage: ./talk.sh 'Your question here'"
	exit 1
