Simplifying Coding with GitHub Copilot

Let’s start this journey with GitHub Copilot, one of the hottest products of 2021. GitHub Copilot is a first-of-its-kind AI pair programmer that helps users write code faster and with much less work. Oege De Moor, VP of GitHub Next, says the mission is “to reach all developers, with an ultimate goal to make programming accessible to everyone.” Automating mundane tasks, like writing redundant code and writing unit test cases, allows developers to “focus on the truly creative part of the job, which involves deciding what the software should actually do” and to “think more about the product concept rather than being stuck in figuring out the code.”
