    Using Copilot even as a mere coding assistance is insane, if no other reason than you’re sending all your code to Microsoft, and you also let them monitor your work habits in uncomfortably intimate details.

        My code is hosted on our selfhosted GitLab instance. How many companies host their code on GitHub? I’m seriously asking…

            Does GitHub offer some sort of contract or agreement for those companies? Not an expert on these things, things like NDA’s, uptime guarantees, etc.

              I think so? I’m not an expert on the setup or agreement, just worked under that situation. I assume there’s a privacy agreement and some level of uptime commitment

              Because if not, I feel like this could get the team in legal or at least financial hot water with investors.

              Which doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, just that it’s not normal and okay.

        pacing data might be useful to pressure us more, later. its not just about the code.
