Viele Unternehmen beklagen den Fachkräftemangel und suchen händeringend nach Entwicklerinnen. Doch die eigentliche Herausforderung beginnt erst nach der Einstellung: Wie halten wir Frauen in der IT? U...

See how GitHub Copilot exhibits agent-like behavior in real dev workflows, planning, executing multi-step tasks, and integrating deeply into engineering processes. Go beyond autocomplete with practica...

Agentic AI is reshaping how we build software, but we are far from the fully autonomous developer utopias that keynote slides love to promise. This talk takes a reality check on where we actually are....

Coding-Agenten wie GitHub Copilot und der Agentic Mode unterstützen Entwickler:innen im Alltag. Warum aber nicht die reine Codegenerierung, sondern vor allem der richtige Kontext über ihren Erfolg ent...

Modernizing applications is less about rewriting and more about understanding, refactoring, and changing code safely.

In this talk we will show how GitHub Copilot supports real-world modernization wo...

In dieser Session werden wir zeigen, wie sich GitHub Copilot von einem reinen Completion-Tool in der Entwicklungsumgebung zu einem tief integrierterten Agenten in der GitHub Plattform entwickelt hat....

In dieser Session schauen uns wir genau diesen Moment an und machen daraus eine Deployment-Story – ganz ohne Copy-Paste von IaC und ohne fragwürdige Bash-Skripte. Stattdessen: ein GitHub-Repo, KI-unte...
