Copilot Code Reviewer - What's your experience been like? Worth it?

Publish Date: Apr 7
19 2

Howdy friends! 👋

I've been considering adding GitHub Copilot Code Reviewer to my workflow (well, obviously for side projects) but wanted to get some real-world feedback before taking the plunge.

For those who've used Copilot Code Reviewer: What's your experience been like? I'm particularly interested in:

  • How effective is it at catching bugs or suggesting improvements?
  • Does it provide genuinely useful feedback or mostly surface-level comments?
  • Any significant time savings in your code review process?
  • How does it compare to traditional code review from teammates?

I work mostly with JavaScript/Typescript and Java projects, if that makes any difference in its effectiveness.
If you've tried it and dropped it, I'd love to hear why too!
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences - the good, the bad, and everything in between!
