Gitlab AI is going head to head with GitHub Copilot

Using Copilot has taught me how to write better code comments. And the improved comment quality benefits everyone, not just the AI.

Even something as simple as adding a doc block for a method can boost the quality quite a bit.

I could live without it, but I'd also keep paying if the price increased.

I agree. It has made me better at articulating what I want to do, what a function does, and something as granular as what a particular loop hopes to achieve

At the current price, if it saves me a single hour in the course of a year it pays for itself. And it definitely does.
