“GitHub Copilot made some comments and change requests to th PR, Claude called them bullshit, and dismissed them. The girls are fighting.”
“Re: "GitHub Copilot Just Died". Looks like people are going back to writing their own code again. If they drop code completions/intellisense I'll be pissed. We had that before this big LLM push”
“Re: "GitHub Copilot Just Died". I would be so fucking excited if my workplace eventually cut the copilot enterprise contract. I could enjoy coding again 🙏”
“Re: "GitHub Copilot Just Died". "Please right align this button" "No, it should aligned right below the other button" "No not that button, it should be aligned to the button on top" "No, remove the new button class and use the existing button component"”
“Re: "Testing GitHub Copilot's Pricing After June 1st". I burned through 25% with casual queries, first day... I have the copilot pro plus used to be enough for the whole month”

Discussion around GitHub Copilot over the observed window was substantial, with 484 mentions spanning roughly eight weeks, and the dominant thread was one of cautious, qualified enthusiasm. Commenters produced far more praise-coded content than complaint-coded content, with feature praise and excitement around new releases accounting for the largest share of positive signals. Several mentions pointed specifically to VS Code integration upgrades and third-party IDE support as sources of genuine excitement, suggesting that product momentum in the tooling ecosystem was doing real work to sustain goodwill.
Sentiment trajectory told a more complicated story. Scores held in a notably subdued range for the first three weeks before a meaningful jump that commenters appeared to connect with a wave of feature announcements. That elevated tone did not fully hold, dipping back in the following week before recovering and then reaching its highest point near the end of the window. The overall pattern suggested a community that responds sharply to release news but whose baseline enthusiasm remains conditional rather than settled.
AI quality and competitor comparisons were a persistent fault line. Several mentions framed GitHub Copilot against rivals directly, with discussion suggesting that favorable comparisons were sometimes qualified by the caliber of the competing model being cited. A cluster of commentary expressed skepticism about Microsoft's broader AI positioning, and some mentions carried a tone of organizational frustration, particularly around enterprise token allocation and quota exhaustion straining team workflows.
Safety and reliability concerns surfaced in a smaller but pointed thread. One widely circulated mention described a concern about content filtering being circumvented through incremental prompting, and reliability-coded complaints, while not the loudest voice, contributed to a ceiling on positive sentiment. The pricing-change theme was a minor but non-trivial irritant in the background of discussion.
