Two years ago, I enabled GitHub Copilot, and the first thing it did was suggest method names that didn't exist. Two weeks later, I disabled autocomplete entirely. That was actually the turning point.

This session is an honest account of how my use of GitHub Copilot evolved across real client projects — from autocomplete frustration, to using Chat to navigate unfamiliar codebases, to spec-driven development for greenfield work, and eventually building a custom multi-agent orchestrator with JIRA integration.

The talk is built on a simple idea: Copilot is not just one tool, but many, and the key is knowing when to use each one. You’ll leave with hands-on techniques for every mode, a realistic look at where each method falls short, and a recorded demo on building and guiding a custom agent stack. No hype—just what worked, what didn’t, and why.
