Tools

GitHub

This is at the heart of how we work. Everyone in the company will be made part of the FlowFuse organization as part of their on-boarding activities.

LLM Programming assists

FlowFuse recognizes the potential of LLM (AI) tools to increase productivity and innovation. When using these tools, understand that the author and committer of any work remains fully responsible for its quality, functionality, and security. AI-assisted work must meet the same high standards as work written entirely by a human. Review each line of code before committing.

When using AI tools for development, never share:

  1. Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
  2. Company secrets like API keys, private credentials, etc, etc.
  3. Customer code or other assets under NDA

GitHub Copilot

We do not currently provide organization-wide licenses for GitHub Copilot, but if team members wish to purchase an individual license they can do so and expense the cost.

As it stands, some of the team already have Copilot access via their Open Source work at no cost. To enable it at the organization level will cost almost twice that of individual access; and currently the benefits do not justify that increased cost.

We will keep this under review - if you feel we are missing out by not having the organization level access, please speak to the CTO.
