Overcoming Your Imposter Syndrome with GitHub Copilot
summary
Claims five named imposter types and shows concrete Copilot workflows that map to each: use ask mode to explain repos and debug, use agent mode only when you already understand the architecture, open reproducible dev environments with CodeSpaces, and turn on GitHub security features like code scanning, dependency alerts and secret scanning. Demonstrations include model selection (mentions Claude 3.5 and an auto model option), merge‑conflict resolution, and direct code refactors — all presented as usable steps, not fluffy examples.
