Risk Assessment of GitHub Copilot

0xabad1dea, July 2021

this is a rough draft and may be updated with more examples

GitHub was kind enough to grant me swift access to the Copilot test phase despite me @'ing them several hundred times about ICE. I would like to examine it not in terms of productivity, but security. How risky is it to allow an AI to write some or all of your code?

Ultimately, a human being must take responsibility for every line of code that is committed. AI should not be used for "responsibility washing." However, Copilot is a tool, and workers need their tools to be reliable. A carpenter doesn't have to

Learn Go in ~5mins

This is inspired by A half-hour to learn Rust and Zig in 30 minutes.

Basics

Your first Go program as a classical "Hello World" is pretty simple:

First we create a workspace for our project:

In order to compile a fully static binary when using Cgo you'll need to link in a C library like musl.

I find it convenient to have a Docker image ready for building these artifacts.

FROM golang
RUN wget https://musl.libc.org/releases/musl-1.2.5.tar.gz && \
   tar -xzf musl-1.2.5.tar.gz && \
   cd musl-1.2.5 && \
 ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared &amp;&amp; \
