AI can write a lot of code, but it can't own the outcome. That's why now, the developer's role is more critical than ever. 🧠 Code review has become less about finding syntax errors and more about validating logic, ensuring quality, and thinking critically about the "why" behind the code. The AI can suggest, but the developer will always—and should always—own the merge button. Learn more why your expertise, curiosity, and ownership are your greatest assets in an AI-powered world. 💡 https://lnkd.in/gQkT59pR

Join us for another inspiring episode of Open Source Friday, featuring Lianna Novitz, the creator of Just a Job App: https://lnkd.in/guUbbv2w. Lianna is a former data analyst turned software engineer who’s transforming her job-hunting journey into a tool for others. After quickly pivoting careers and overcoming a layoff, she built the resource she wished she’d had: a free, open source tool that automates job search tracking.

Every idea starts with a Spark✨ First shown at Universe 2024, GitHub Spark takes you from idea to deployment in minutes. And it’s available today for all Copilot Pro+ users. Just prompt GitHub Spark in natural language and it spins up a full-stack app, leveraging Claude Sonnet 4 to create the app and Microsoft Azure to host it. Spark not only uses an LLM to create the app, it can also integrate one to make your app more intelligent. Ask Spark to add AI capabilities and it can integrate chatbots, content generation, and other intelligent features using models from OpenAI, Meta, DeepSeek, xAI and more – no API key management needed. It all flows right back to the GitHub platform, where all your code already lives. Open a repo with one click, assign issues to the coding agent in GitHub – even open your Spark in VS Code with Codespaces to start editing the code yourself. And when it’s time to deploy, Spark lets you carry the torch, handling servers, domains, and authentication. Plus, control access with built-in, secure GitHub auth. 🔒 In the last five decades of software development, producing software required manually converting human language into programming language, compiling it, debugging it, testing it – and then going back to more coding. Today, we take a step toward the ideal magic of creation: the idea in your head becomes reality in a matter of minutes. ✨ https://lnkd.in/emswpRgH

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
