Key points

  • Vlad Mihalcea, founder of Hypersistence and author of the book High-Performance Java Persistence
  • How has GitHub Copilot helped you recently?
  • But using Copilot is like having a new team member, so I used it to create an app that will ship in the next version of Hypersistence Optimizer.
  • I use GitHub Copilot in IntelliJ IDEA because it’s convenient to run while reviewing source code or during a debug session.
