Developer happiness and productivity are his passion. GitHub Copilot is now in the hands of millions of developers and has been reshaping how software is built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-clip\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_clip\"><\/span>Best clip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How GitHub&#8217;s Copilot revolutionized programming.<\/strong> In this video, Scott explains how GitHub\u2019s Copilot enables developers to stay in the flow state that increases their productivity\u2014and happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"video-thumbnail text-center video-thumbnail-link-wrapper\">\n  <a class=\"vidyard-modal\" href=\"#modal-video-vidyard\" data-uuid=\"AwDt3dTBZsQamkxAub4j3T\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#modal-video-vidyard\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" title=\"Video: \" src=\"https:\/\/play.vidyard.com\/AwDt3dTBZsQamkxAub4j3T.jpg\" alt=\"Video: \">\n    <i class=\"icon-play-circle-solid\"><\/i>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-takeaways\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_takeaways\"><\/span><a><\/a>Key takeaways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-github-s-copilot-is-refounding-programming-with-ai\"><a><\/a>GitHub\u2019s Copilot is refounding programming with AI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In case Scott\u2019s work hasn\u2019t gone before him, he\u2019s been on a journey to revolutionize developer productivity for decades. He and the team at GitHub are using AI to provide a tool\u2014that\u2019s Copilot\u2014which makes pair programming (to work in tandem with an expert developer) available for every developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019ve spent months developing Copilot and training it on numerous coding languages. Copilot starts with code completion but goes far beyond that to save developers time. In fact, their tests showed that programmers using Copilot were 50% faster in creating a project with the same results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond Copilot, their goal is to \u201crefound on AI\u201d\u2014meaning, they\u2019re infusing the entire platform with AI and doing it in a way that makes developers more productive. But they\u2019re not putting AI everywhere. They\u2019re looking for where AI will be useful for customers and putting it there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAt GitHub, we&#8217;ve always been about developers, and we&#8217;ve always been about productivity, and we&#8217;ve always been about developer happiness because that flow state is where developers find themselves more happy. So Copilot is that next evolution of that. And we&#8217;ve taken advantage of this new Generative AI to actually make that happen.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-happier-developers-lead-to-more-customer-value\"><a><\/a>Happier developers lead to more customer value<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott points out that developers tend to jump jobs when they\u2019re not happy with their team or organizations. This isn\u2019t ideal even for enterprise organizations because onboarding developers isn\u2019t cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution lies in increasing developer happiness, and a big factor in developer happiness is enabling more productivity. It turns out that (most) developers don\u2019t just want to hand code all day. Per Scott: \u201cWe pay developers to think, not to type.\u201d Implementing solutions like GitHub\u2019s Copilot that removes toil from their day creates productivity gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, though, the end goal of AI for development productivity isn\u2019t just to make developers happy. It\u2019s to enable developers to bring more ideas, leading to more value for customers. Scott\u2019s perspective: \u201cDon\u2019t think of AI as replacing people. It\u2019s to increase your productivity to get more value.\u201d Any obstacle you can take out of the development process improves your end-to-end value stream and gets more value to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAs an organization, you should be thinking about that entire flow: how do I reduce the toil, how do I increase the value that I can give to my customers internally and externally, and how can I use these tools to make that happen?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Even with AI, code will never go away<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though GitHub Copilot uses AI to make coding faster, Mik and Scott agree that code and coders will always be necessary. Engineers have continuously tried different ways to get rid of code, and AI makes it seem like that\u2019s in view. But while AI can communicate with natural language prompts, it\u2019s simply another way to abstract the code. It still requires developers who understand how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cCode is that means to an interface with that computer to solve that problem. But if we can make that easier to do and make it more productive for people to do, there will still be code behind that until we get rid of the zeros and ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_more_about_AI_and_developer_productivity\"><\/span><a><\/a>Explore more about AI and developer productivity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mik and Scott continue the conversation about developer productivity and how this fundamentally changes organizational value delivery.
