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.

Interesting, 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?

No idea how good other languages are but Java in cider-v is very nice.

I'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?

I’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.

Shoot me a mail to e-hackernews[at]wthack.de so we can connect less publicly.

Googlers.. please take it to internal comms.
