AI's Legacy Code Adventure
AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot promise to supercharge developer productivity, and their benefits are clear when working on greenfield projects or personal side gigs. But what about the day-to-day reality for developers working in mature, large-scale codebases—with custom frameworks, long-standing conventions, and tangled histories?
In this session, we'll roll up our sleeves and put GitHub Copilot through its paces on a sample legacy application. Through live coding examples, you'll see where Copilot shines unexpectedly (and where it falls flat).
You'll walk away with strategies for making your existing codebase more "AI-friendly", techniques for your team to effectively collaborate with AI assistance, and a view of when to rely on Copilot versus when to stick with traditional approaches.
Beyond the Code: Can GitHub Copilot Be Your Co-Architect?
You already rely on GitHub Copilot to handle the boring stuff — autocompleting code, tackling repetitive tasks, and jumping in when troubleshooting gets tough. Maybe you’ve even asked it to build an entire feature. But does it stop there?
Now that Copilot frees you from routine work, you have more time to focus on the big picture — system design, architecture, and long-term decisions. But what if Copilot could support that too? What if it could recognize, suggest, and even guide architectural decisions?
In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Copilot can go beyond code and become your architectural thinking partner. Expect live demos and a fresh perspective on how AI is shaping modern software design.
