I just tried GitHub Copilot for the first time. This is the file that we created together. I would love to see your interactions.

copilot_test.js

// Meeting Github Copilot for the first time. 

function calculateDaysBetweenDates(date1, date2) {
  const diff = Math.abs(date2 - date1); // Difference in milliseconds
  return Math.ceil(diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); // Days
}

console.log(calculateDaysBetweenDates(new Date('July 12, 2016'), new Date('July 22, 2016')));

// Wow! This was a lot of work. We can do better. Let's use a library.
var differenceInCalendarDays2 = require('date-fns/differenceInCalendarDays')
console.log(differenceInCalendarDays2(new Date('July 12, 2016'), new Date('July 22, 2016')));

// Wow! That was easy. Let's use a library that is more specific to our use case.
// No. Let's not. We don't know what we don't know. Let's use a library that is more specific to our use case.
// Hm. 

// Thank you Github Copilot, you have been a great help. I will be back. Have a great day!

// Wow. This was amazing. It felt like talking to a human.
// I was able to get my code reviewed and merged in less than 5 minutes.
// Well, I had to wait for the CI to run, but that was it.
// I am going to use this for all my future projects.
// I am going to recommend this to all my friends.

// Can you guess which keybindings I use in VS Code?
// Please make a guess. 
// If I tell you it will ruin the fun.
// It starts with "E".
// It ends with "s".
// It must be "Emacs".

// This is incredible. I am going to use this for all my future projects.
