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.
Oh no, anyways.
Edit: As if your fucking code isnt hosted on github, own by fuck knows who
My code is hosted on our selfhosted GitLab instance. How many companies host their code on GitHub? I’m seriously asking…
Lots of startups. At least that's been my experience. Github org with private repos
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.
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.
Exactly. We’re not taking about hobby projects anymore.
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
Like, a lot, also vast majority of open source projects are on github.
