Topic:
Why
Speed up development
Catch errors faster than type checking/compiling
Writing tedious boilerplate code
Ask questions and learn local information
Look good for hiring managers
How
Extensions for VSCode & other IDEs for inline suggestions
Chat with a selection/file
Command-line Tools run at the root directory
Local vs Cloud
Examples
Copilot (VSCode extension)
Use the experimental mode
Cursor (Custom IDE)
Jumps to suggest changes in other places
Similar to copilot experimental mode
RooCode (VSCode extension)
