For the first time, humans are not the only ones who can write useful, working code for complex real-world products. And for humans who can code, our potential productivity level has raised significantly as we’re now able to tackle a larger number and wider variety of problems (often in parallel). In this technical keynote, Steve Sanderson from the GitHub Copilot coding agent team will share experiences, tips, and techniques that make the difference between success and frustration when working with coding agents. You’ll see demos of the latest and upcoming Copilot CLI features, and learn the underlying principles you can focus on instead of getting caught up in hype and FOMO. And more broadly, we’ll talk about how (or if) this changes our role in the world as software developers.
