So GitHub copilot is gonna be paid. Is it worth 10$ a month for the amount of time it saves me? Definitely. Definitely not paying for it tho, it's using open source code and the code i write to feed it's AI without giving any of this money back to the projects it uses

Hey, you, stop for a moment and think about where you wanted to be 4 years ago and where you're now. Give yourself credit for how far you've come and pat yourself on the back for everything you've achieved along the way. Now go on with your day & shine even brighter. ✨.
