Things to expect when starting to work with Copilot

Oded Sharon
AI will likely play a major role in software development, but using it effectively requires understanding its limits. While working with GitHub Copilot, I found that small, well-defined tasks and better prompting improved results, while context limits and over-eager implementations caused issues. By working incrementally and verifying each step, I increased my productivity and learned to collaborate with AI more deliberately.
