A Python dev submits a messy PR. Sourcery tears it apart with idiomatic fixes no generalist matches. But Copilot? It's already writing the next one.
What if your AI sidekick is brilliant at trivia and genius stunts, but utterly useless for the 80% of coding that pays the bills? Buckle up—this is the empty middle sucking the life out of AI hype.
GitHub says Copilot users code 55% faster. Sounds great. Until you factor in the bugs it sneaks in.
Picture this: a sprawling codebase, ghosts of past devs' 'best practices' haunting every file. One engineer fought back with a custom GitHub Copilot agent—and won.
Picture this: 40% of github.com requests failing, Copilot sessions dead, Actions workflows frozen for hours. GitHub's March 2026 report lays bare four brutal outages—and hints at architectural cracks that Microsoft can't spin away.
GitHub Universe is back, begging developers to grab the mic. But is this the dev conf where quirky Git tales outshine Copilot pitches?
