The YouTube video explores a comparison between Amazon's CodeWhisperer and GitHub Copilot, testing them in JavaScript and TypeScript programming. It discusses issues with displaying data, handling events, code suggestions, and code typing. The speaker tackles challenges such as duplicates, code compatibility, and function completion. Ultimately, they find the Amazon version preferable due to its cost. The segment emphasizes debugging, modifying code, and decision-making based on features and performance differences between the two tools.

In this segment of the video, the YouTuber is comparing Amazon’s CodeWhisperer with GitHub Copilot, which are tools similar to GitHub Copilot but free. The YouTuber is testing both tools with JavaScript and TypeScript programming by fetching data from GitHub, displaying it in an unordered list, and adding copying functionality with event listeners. Both tools fetch data from GitHub correctly, but when displaying data in an unordered list, both tools display only the login username instead of the full data. The YouTuber notes that both tools failed to recognize that the output should be an unordered list, and GitHub Copilot seemed to not parse HTML properly.

In this segment of the video, the speaker experiments with creating unordered lists and LI elements in their code. They discuss the placement of curly brackets and compare two different approaches to handling data, one involving passing data as a function and the other fetching data inside the function. The speaker also mentions running an init function on page load and notes the differences in output between working with Amazon and GitHub data. Additionally, there is humor throughout the segment as the speaker interacts with their code.

In this part of the video, the speaker is working on delegating an event listener for handling click events on certain elements. They are comparing the suggestions provided by Amazon’s copilot feature. The speaker makes corrections and tests the functionality of both implementations. They find that both options perform well and discuss the challenge of determining which one might be better. The speaker also mentions potential difficulties in handling larger projects and discusses code preferences. Finally, they test how copilot handles writing types based on the context of the code.

In this segment of the video, the speaker is working on GitHub data and implementing a duplicate function. They realize that sharing a typescript config is causing duplication and decide to make it a module to resolve the issue. The speaker then attempts to fetch GitHub data and encounters issues with Amazon not recognizing keys. They also mention preferences regarding tab spaces in their code editor. The speaker encounters challenges with code typing and function completion, which leads to a broken code scenario. Overall, the segment involves debugging, modifying code, and addressing compatibility issues.
00:12:00
In this segment, the speaker is comparing and testing a GitHub prompt with an Amazon version, expressing that both are good. They find the Amazon version preferable due to its cost being free, instead of paying for the Co-Pilot version. The speaker plans to continue using the Amazon version for further testing and will share their final decision on Twitter.
