  1. I agree
  2. GitHub Copilot is free for students, and that's the way I use it
  3. GitHub Copilot takes some context from recent files, but iirc they are working on "copilot for your codebase" or something like that

Ah, it makes way more sense for students, absolutely. None of your code is proprietary, so that's not a concern, student pricing makes things easier.

Plus, your tech stacks are much simpler. Usually just... Java, or Python, or something. Not a python webserver using X framework for templating, Y framework for typing, and Z framework for API calls to some undocumented internal API.
