AI coding assistants are most valuable when they help developers understand and improve existing code — not just generate new files.
“Using Copilot to Understand, Fix & Improve Code” focuses on practical ways developers can use GitHub Copilot while reading unfamiliar codebases, debugging issues, and refactoring legacy or complex code. The session covers how Copilot can assist with explaining logic, identifying bugs, suggesting fixes, and proposing improvements while keeping developers firmly in control.
Through real coding scenarios and examples, this talk shows how Copilot can speed up comprehension, reduce context-switching, and support better code quality. Attendees will also learn best practices for validating AI suggestions and avoiding common pitfalls when relying on Copilot in everyday development.
Ideal for developers who want to use Copilot as a true productivity booster — not a shortcut that compromises quality.
