Power of GitHub Copilot in VS Code: Essential Prompting

Stuczynski
Pawel Stuczynski
Principal DevOps Engineer

The talk will be delivered in English

GitHub Copilot in VS Code is a powerful AI coding assistant that integrates seamlessly to enhance coding experience. The session will start by installing and setting it up, then explore features like multifile edits, where Copilot helps make changes across multiple files efficiently.
It offers inline suggestions to speed up coding and supports different AI models, allowing to switch between them for various tasks. The agent mode autonomously iterates on code, recognizing errors and suggesting fixes. We will show code reviews from Copilot, receiving actionable feedback directly in the editor. Additionally, Copilot agents perform specific tasks like querying documentation or executing actions.

18:55 – 19:35

We are raising funds for 3 tablets for the mobile fire groups of the Air Defense Center.

Why are these tablets needed?

To quickly receive navigation data on the map, showing the current location of air threats within the mobile group’s sector.

With the tablet data, teams can take a better interception position, increasing the likelihood of destroying enemy targets.

Interesting fact: This software cannot be installed on personal devices, so dedicated “corporate” equipment is required.

Which tablets are we getting?
