Code Faster, Ship Sooner with Quality-First .NET Dev Using GitHub Copilot Agent

AI is your omniscient best friend…that’s also a pathological liar. Now, with Copilot’s Agent Mode, it can crank out surprisingly decent C# - but will it ultimately save you time and keystrokes, or just inject tricky bugs while decreasing your code quality? Spoiler: like any power tool, its impact depends entirely on how you wield it.

In this hands-on session, Lee Richardson will show how he built a “Release Notes Generator” in bite-sized, quality-focused increments. You’ll learn how to use custom instructions to get the best results, how to use spec-first design, and which model works best for which types of problems.

Attend this talk if you’re open to leveling up your sketchy copilot as coding partner. Bring your skepticism - and your questions.
