How I Use GitHub Copilot Coding Agent to Add a New Language to My App

Tug Grall @tgrall.bsky.social · 8d

I'm developing faster than ever, even if I spend less time in my IDE.

Thanks to #GitHub #Copilot and its agents, I now spend more time on what truly matters: defining architecture & specs in md.

This approach is completely reshaping how I work.

How has AI transformed your developer workflow?

Loving how GitHub Copilot + MCP DevTools work together to help me debug in real time

Caught this classic Leaflet.js issue (“Map container is already initialized.”) thanks to the devtools!
