"I love writing code to make things: apps, websites, charts, even music. It’s a
skill I’ve worked hard at for more than 20 years.

So I must confess last week’s news about the release of a new “AI assistant”
coding helper called GitHub Copilot gave me complicated feelings.

Copilot, which spits out code to order based on “plain English” descriptions,
is a remarkable tool. But is it about to put coders like me out of a job?"
