[VDIASI23] - Vlad Iliescu - Future-Proof Development with GitHub Codespaces, Copilot, and GPT-4

In this talk, we will delve into the world of cutting-edge software development tools and explore how GitHub Codespaces, GitHub Copilot, and GPT-4 can work together to reshape the way developers create, test, and maintain code, optimizing their efficiency and streamlining collaboration. We’ll start by exploring GitHub Codespaces, which lets developers quickly create tailored, cloud-based development environments, eliminating the need for extensive local setup, and ensuring a consistent workspace across teams. We’ll then take a closer look at GitHub Copilot, an AI-powered programming assistant that uses OpenAI’s GPT-3 to suggest contextually relevant code suggestions, significantly reducing the time spent on writing boilerplate code and debugging. Finally, we’ll dive into the possibilities and potential impact of GPT-4, the latest iteration of OpenAI’s language model. Here, we will discuss advancements such as the ability to use twice as much contextual information, but also its improved reasoning and code generation capabilities. Throughout the talk, we will explore real-world examples and provide insight into the integration of these tools, ensuring that you leave equipped with valuable knowledge on how to future-proof your development practices and stay ahead of the curve.
