AI in C# Development and GitHub Copilot

This chapter features a discussion with Microsoft experts deeply involved in C# language development and design, focusing on the implementation and impact of AI in coding productivity, particularly through the lens of GitHub Copilot. They explore challenges in maintaining AI up-to-date with new C# features, managing backward compatibility while encouraging usage of new tools, and the importance of aligning Copilot with user preferences and integrating seamlessly with IDEs. The conversation also touches on testing AI-generated code for functionality, the role of comments in code understanding, and the balance between AI suggestions and human cognitive abilities in programming.
