GitHub Copilot AI features in Visual Studio BEYOND 'just writing code'

I'm going to mess around live in this video to see what kinds of things copilot does beyond just generating code

[TheTsavoman]

Absolutely love this video - honestly, the production quality (for it being a one person show) is incredible..

Super great deep dive here and really enjoyed this!

These kind of videos are really helpful for those of us that live in Visual Studio for much of our day.

Thanks much Scott - I really appreciate your curated content and insight - many years of good stuff ++

Very nice video. As always, disrupting technologies bring changes of all kinds into the world, good and bad. Seeing you all curious about every corner where Copilot is really helped me consider the other side of the coin—that AI does (or is able to do) more than just harmful things.

I really wish AI was advertised like this by everyone (as a helper not a replacement); unfortunately, that's not the case

Clicked, liked and subscribed without watching the video because of your C-64 shirt--love it!

[rodrigolima]

Very nice. I actually use the conditional breakpoint all the time. I've been using visual studio for many years now it is very nice to see how it is now. I actually use it more than VScode. Just prefererence, they are both great.

But, I'm trying to write the next version of Raid on Bungeling Bay for the C64! :) j/k, love the shirt, my first dev experience was creating a ski game on the C64, where you were the "H" (the guy with skis), skiing between the "*" trees, in sixth grade. Started my whole career with that game.

Perhaps "the little man" icon means the Copilot CHAT, while the sparkles icon means just suggestions without activate the chat?

Nice! Would be interesting to do a parallel test of GitHub Copilot and Pieces Copilot+ (extension or app) with Live Context on to compare the performance

[unhandledexception]

Love these nuggets of insight from this channel... Grateful for you being a constant source of inspiration

I've been meaning to try out Copilot .... 7:52 name suggestions.... I'm sold! 😃 no more second guessting if a name is a good fit.

You know it's gonna be a serious talk if the glasses get taken off during the first 10 seconds. :)

I started using AI heavily recently for all sorts of stuff and it's the smartest and dumbest thing at the same time. Wrote 450 lines of code automation script for something I needed with 0 issues just prompts, then when I asked for control flag so I can have a state it broke the entire thing and after 20 prompts still couldn't fix it.

Where did you get that shirt? My first computer Commodore 64. Great video.

[shashankkaul]

Hey @shanselman, thanks for the video. Which version of copilot did you have running in this video? Individual, business or enterprise?

[carlospacheco]

Can it load the entire project into its context? For example ask it to explain the architecture of the solution

[josephplaugher]

What is this presentation software you’re using that allows you to drag your self around the screen and zoom in and out so easily? This is definitely not teams.

I did not know about "Rename", very nice.
