Power of AI and Code Quality and Performance
summary
Live demo uses Visual Studio Copilot chat to read C# code, add comments, generate a blog-style README, and create unit tests and a text-file logger that writes exceptions; Copilot converts old patterns to modern syntax — examples show conversion from C# 3 to C# 12 upgrade (using var, interpolated strings, target-typed new) and automated refactors that apply early returns and extract helpers. Presenter cites ~85% of developers reporting better code and claims large productivity gains but warns of security, outdated snippets and IP risks.
