Important note for #Programmers / #SoftwareEngineers, especially #independent #contractors :
#AI tools like #GitHub #CoPilot can impressively improve #coding productivity, but before using them, check with your employer/client first! Every client I've reached out to about this has wanted to run it past their legal department first (which is a really smart move on their part!).
DO NOT, under any circumstances, allow these tools to send client/employer data to the AI vendors (which is necessary for their operation) without getting client/employer consent first.
This will be a core tenet of #professionalism for #developers enhancing their services with AI assistants, so best get in the habit now.
