AI agents have evolved from autocomplete to true teammates. On The Copilot Show, Microsoft’s Scott Hunter shared that developers can now assign GitHub issues to Copilot, which writes code, opens pull requests, and responds to feedback. Instead of coding every line, developers now guide smart agents across tools like VS Code and JetBrains. The future is fast, prompt-driven, and collaborative.

🎙️ What You Will Learn:

What if your next pull request was written by an AI agent—while you were in a meeting? In this episode, Microsoft’s Scott Hunter pulls back the curtain on how AI is transforming software development from the inside out. From GitHub Copilot’s new agent mode to the rise of site reliability AI, Scott shares what’s real, what’s hype, and what’s coming next. Whether you’re a developer, product leader, or tech strategist, this conversation will reshape how you think about productivity, skill-building, and the future of engineering teams.

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
✅ Agent Mode is Here: AI agents can now autonomously fix bugs, open pull requests, and iterate on code—freeing developers from tedious tasks.
✅ The Developer Role is Evolving: Prompt engineering and code review are becoming core skills, while traditional junior roles may fade.
✅ AI in Site Reliability: New SRE agents can detect, diagnose, and even resolve infrastructure issues—cutting pager alerts by 30%.
✅ Training the Next Generation: As AI handles more entry-level work, companies must rethink how they grow senior engineering talent.
✅ Prototyping at Warp Speed: With tools like Copilot and Next.js, developers can build full-stack apps in minutes—if they know what to ask.
