Want actionable feedback to improve your DX? Build a GitHub Copilot extension.
Why GitHub and Microsoft are poised to lead the AI IDE game and how dev tooling companies will profit from it.
GitHub Copilot Extensions will make it possible for dev tools to fine-tune their own agents with their latest documentation and quality codebases. I think this is a game changer, and if other IDEs like Cursor can't add those extensions to their platforms, VSCode will win the race.
But the real game changer here is not just the developer experience—it's that dev tools will retain access to the most frequently asked questions and issues developers encounter. Since the inception of LLMs, platforms like Stack Overflow have been running dry on quality feedback, especially for DevRel teams. I really hope this solves the issue and makes the overall developer experience great again.
