No slides, just code: live coding with a digital intern on stage (retired)

Many developers have rapidly incorporated large language models in everyday programming. But what if we completely left the work to a intern? “Look at that and how it works, now build me this similar feature!” Wouldn’t that be great? Unfortunately, most of us can’t afford to hire an intern.

In this talk, I will introduce you to my virtual intern, GitHub Copilot Workspace. I’ll have it implement some features from scratch, showing you the complete workflow from specification through brainstorming to implementation. If all goes well, the outcome should be a pull request with a working feature that is ready to be merged into the code base.

And if it doesn’t go well, at least we’ll seize the opportunity to learn from it.
