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.

I've had Cw's Google search the confidential projects they're on.
I've seen them take selfies with classified material behind them.
There's even been a few sharing details to outside vendors via discord.
Mind you- I didn't hire those ilk. But was also told my standards were too high. Guess that kind of attitude is what's led to where we're at now.
