Join us for Rubber Duck Thursdays! A lighthearted and informal stream where we live code on some projects. In this stream, we'll take a look at https://gh.io/love-of-code, chat through some fun potential ideas and build something from the list!

Join us for a live stream with Julia Kordick, Software Global Black Belt at Microsoft, as she demonstrates how AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot and autonomous agents are transforming large-scale COBOL modernization. Julia will showcase a live demo of migrating legacy COBOL, covering reverse engineering, automated documentation, test generation, and code transformation.

The key to success when working with GitHub Copilot? Context. 💡 Provide more effective information by using: ✍️ Code comments to guide suggestions in the moment. 📋 Custom instructions to align Copilot with your project's standards. ♻️ Reusable prompts to streamline repetitive tasks. 💻 MCP Servers to connect Copilot with external tools and knowledge bases. Give Copilot better context, and you'll get better results. Explore all the techniques in our guide. 👇 https://lnkd.in/g9qMFnA4

Want to know the most incredible part of Git's origin story? 👀 Linus Torvalds tells us the "very arcane things" he had to do before even his own shell scripts made Git usable. Get the full story straight from Linus in our Q&A for Git’s 20th anniversary. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gTjMxc7V

The hardest part of refactoring isn't the typing—it's the fear of breaking something you don't fully understand. 😬 GitHub Copilot analyzes your code and maps out a path forward so you can refactor smarter, not harder. 🧠 Check out the techniques in our guide. 🔎 https://lnkd.in/gSbpXUbQ

You don’t need a million users to build something meaningful. You need an idea, a keyboard, and a reason to smile. #ForTheLoveOfCode is a celebration of creativity through code - playful, personal, and proudly unfinished. Spend a weekend or the whole summer building something that’s just for you 🧡 Join us 👉 https://lnkd.in/ek48De32

Join us as we chat with the maintainer of Keploy, the open-source tool that auto-generates test cases and mocks from real API traffic. We’ll dive into how Keploy simplifies testing, boosts coverage, and fits right into your dev workflow. 🚀 Perfect for developers building APIs, microservices, or looking to level up their testing game!

I spent a few wonderful years helping Algorithmia build innovative serverless ML hosting services - deep in the trenches with Python datascientists, churning through Jupyter notebooks, debugging memory issues and race conditions. Data pipelines were a nightmare of custom scripts and complex orchestration. Fast-forward to the present: I wanted to get back into datascience, so I spent a day experimenting with GitHub #Copilot and Daft to build an AI-powered image search engine. Things have changed, for the better: 🤖 AI pair-programming is fast, but needs guidance! In just a couple hours, I built days worth of code. GitHub Copilot and Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4 are a truly admirable combo... but while this accelerated initial code generation, it still took many well-guided iterations to arrive at a useful product. AI tools are powerful accelerators, but you must know how to guide them effectively. There's no substitute for real-world experience in the problem domain, or for coding in general. ⚡ Daft.ai brings multimodal magic, and SQL queries into nonrelational data. Unlike traditional dataframes that treat images as file paths, Daft natively processes them. For example, you can bulk-chain image operations like decode(), resize(), encode() ... And querying heterogenous and non-relational data is easy via their SQL dialect! 🔎 The result? Clean code focusing on business logic instead of infrastructure headaches, sculpted in just a few hours. It's like the datascience and software development world finally caught up to what we dreamed of back in the Algorithmia days. - Read the full writeup and try out the demo at https://lnkd.in/gKNN8aFA - Try GitHub Copilot for free at https://gh.io/copilot/free - Experience multimodal data processing and SQL queries at Daft.ai
