Co-Creating with AI: How GitHub Copilot CLI Changed the Way I Build
About this session
When I first started using GitHub Copilot CLI, I wasn't convinced it was for me. I'm naturally more of a visual interface person than a terminal enthusiast, so the idea of bringing AI into my command line felt unfamiliar. But after giving it an honest try, something unexpected happened. I wasn't just learning a new tool; I was changing the way I approached software development.
This session is a candid look at that journey. I'll share what surprised me, where I struggled, the habits I had to unlearn, and how GitHub Copilot CLI gradually became a collaborator rather than just another productivity tool. We will also explore how AI is reshaping the developer experience and changing how we think, experiment, troubleshoot, and build.
Whether you're curious about GitHub Copilot CLI, just beginning your AI-assisted development journey, or wondering how these tools fit into real engineering workflows, you'll leave with practical lessons, honest insights, and a clearer picture of what it means to co-create with AI.
