Refactoring Legacy .NET with a Copilot: Human + AI in the Real World

Legacy code is often the elephant in the room — complex, fragile, and poorly documented. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how GitHub Copilot can become a valuable partner in refactoring .NET applications, helping you untangle legacy codebases safely and efficiently.

You’ll learn:

How to guide Copilot with meaningful prompts for realistic refactoring tasks.
Where AI excels — and where human intuition is still irreplaceable.
Strategies for balancing automation with design intent
Real-world techniques for cleaning up code while preserving behavior.

We’ll work on a legacy .NET codebase together, live-refactoring with Copilot and discussing both the technical and human aspects of collaborative coding with AI. Whether you're skeptical or excited about AI tools, you'll walk away with practical ideas to make your refactoring process faster, safer, and maybe even a little more fun.
