How to use the GitHub Copilot SDK in C# The GitHub Copilot SDK came out at the beginning of this year, and it offers a lot of possibility in the way of integrating AI into your own custom apps. I’ve been having quite a bit of fun with it…

Blogged: How to use the GitHub Copilot SDK in C#

I've been using the @github.com Copilot SDK for the past month or two on a side project and been having a blast with it, so figured it was worth its own post! #dotnet

I'll be giving a free 3-hour workshop on effective GitHub Copilot usage on April 18! Signup: geeksanddrinks.tech/ai-april

After a year of enterprise AI coaching on @github.com Copilot, I'll share what does and doesn't work when supporting real products with it at the enterprise level.

I learned this year at #MVPSummit that there's 39 Daniels that are MVPs! #mvpbuzz

In my opinion, that is far too many. I propose we narrow this number down classic gladiator combat style and let the strongest survive

Finally made it to #MVPSummit and even got a little something to represent the San Antonio .NET User Group back home! #mvpbuzz #sadnugs

Surely something along these lines...

Moving right into another cross-platform talk this month!

The fact that ReSharper is on Open VSX was a pleasant surprise to learn about! Plus, it was a nice change of pace from the AI content lately. @jetbrains.com @resharper.jetbrains.com #dotnet
