Does this train models based on the code/responses that users give it? Amazon giving something for "free" raises some red flags for me

Interesting, I feel like there will be many of these copilots in the near future. Congratulations on your launch

Sounds interesting? Could you please summarise the main pros and cons compared to Github copilot?

WOWOWOWOWO it's free. Good bye Github copilot! So far so good. It's super fast as well. Github copilot was getting slower and slower since using it from the very beginning. Thank you @chrismessina my week is going to be 🔥

upvoted! Anything that can cut down the time from brainstorming to having working code is like finding an oasis in a desert for developers. 👩‍💻✨ Question for the devs though - how does it handle more complex problem-solving, like when the logic gets convoluted? Is it more suited for boilerplate code, or can it genuinely grok the really tough stuff?
