Improving your code craft with generative AI
summary
Live coding shows a Go CLI extended with GitHub Copilot: adding a user-driven get-weather command, mocking an API-backed getCurrentWeather function, then auto-generating a get-currency-exchange command, commit message and PR summary. Coverage includes function calling to surface live data, concrete prompt patterns (zero/one/few-shot), use of workspace context and slash commands and participants in VS Code, plus warnings that Copilot isn’t a compiler and generated code always needs verification.
