Passionate developer and crazy windsurfer … or the opposite.

Working at GitHub during the day, coding windr.org at night (early morning to be precise)
GitHub Copilot is building GitHub!

It acts as a programmer , fixing bugs and shipping new features faster than ever.

See how the platform uses its own tool:

Still shocked talking to devs/tech folks who see GenAI as just “autocomplete + chat on steroids”

No! Once you’ve clearly defined the work—requirements , architecture, quality, validation criteria—the “AI team” does the job for you.
You’re the PM, it’s the dev squad.

MCP server instructions just clarified so much for me—perfect for guiding LLMs on tool workflows (like GitHub PR reviews).

This will help you too!

Thanks to Ola Hungerford!

Using @vscode.dev Simple Browser + #GitHub #Copilot to start, update, and debug your web app — all in chat.

- Take screenshots
- Add DOM elements to context

Nice developer flow.

Made a short demo since many folks don’t know this feature

From the discussions at #DevFest #Nantes 2025:
it’s time to stop coding like it’s 2022.

We’ve entered the Agentic Era — where AI understands context, follows specs, and builds with us.

Code less, think more.

Don't ask #GitHubCopilot to "rewrite this legacy code" just yet!

Better approach: document first, modernize second.

I explain how in this article & video - starting with step 1: generating docs from legacy code!

I'm developing faster than ever, even if I spend less time in my IDE.

Thanks to #GitHub #Copilot and its agents, I now spend more time on what truly matters: defining architecture & specs in md.

This approach is completely reshaping how I work.

How has AI transformed your developer workflow?

Loving how GitHub Copilot + MCP DevTools work together to help me debug in real time

Caught this classic Leaflet.js issue (“Map container is already initialized.”) thanks to the devtools!

#GitHubCopilot coding agent is now GA!

It works asynchronously in its own dev env, opens draft PRs, and requests your review.

Already 1M+ PRs created this way. I use it daily for windr.org
