New fear unlocked (just in time for Halloween): sentient Furbies 👀 #GitHubUniverse
Screenshot of a code editor displaying Python code with a small ASCII art image of a Furby integrated into the code. A diff is shown changing the variable `sentient` from `False` to `True`, and making the Furby's eyes change to Xs. A moment from the 2025 GitHub Universe Day 2 keynote demonstrating a choir of programmed Furbies. A close-up of a programmed purple Furby with the text "SOON".

Today’s #GitHubUniverse keynote focused on the spark behind the magic— you, the developers. Some highlights:
🧑‍💻 Hacking a beloved 90s toy
💫 Developers, from open source to enterprise
🤝 Empowering students through partnerships with Hack Club and Major League Hacking to build what’s next
GitHub VP of Developer Relations Martin Woodward on stage at GitHub Universe with a Furby. ASOS takes the stage at GitHub Universe. The slide reads "What if we used GitHub Copilot to tackle the mundane?". Open Healthcare Network takes the stage at GitHub Universe. The slide shows they have 1k+ contributors, 10k commits, and have helped 1.4k hospitals. A student project called Crazy Controllers – a glove that translates human gestures into digital actions.
