Microsoft has announced that Copilot for VS Code is free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not talking about the crappy Copilot that comes with Bing. This is the code assistant plugin for VS Code. It used to require a paid subscription. Now anyone can use it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days as a full-time mom, I have less time to try stuff out. However, my husband is amazing and takes over on Saturdays so I have time to squat in a coffee shop like a college student while I work on fun Kaggle Playground Series machine learning competitions (no, I&#8217;m not competitive&#8230;yet&#8230;just having fun).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, my impression of the free VS Code Copilot plugin is positive. I like the inline chat function where I can ask a question or state an action I&#8217;d like it to take and it writes a code block that I can accept or ask for clarification. I only have experience using it in Python, though. Let me know in the comments below if you have experience with other languages and your initial impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go check it out for yourself! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/blogs\/2024\/12\/18\/free-github-copilot\">https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/blogs\/2024\/12\/18\/free-github-copilot<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/visualstudio\/ide\/copilot-free-plan?view=vs-2022\">https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/visualstudio\/ide\/copilot-free-plan?view=vs-2022<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2025 is coming in hot.
