What's the most surprising thing you've had GitHub Copilot coding agent do for you?
Not work
The most surprising thing it did was run out of tokens with absolutely NO way to buy more. That's when I decided to try Claude and ended up switching away for good.
I've been iterating through a new documentation chat mode. When prompted for Mermaid diagrams, Copilot gave us those PLUS it's equivalent ASCII implementation for "legacy systems unable to render such diagrams." So, if anybody is looking for a solution to active kubernetes monitoring via CRT display - let me know!
Writing ++i instead of i++ at every for loop it could find. The segmentation faults still haunt my memories.
I built a tool to ensure certificates get renewed before expiration. Then I added a web interface and containerized it. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pgithub.com/BrianDavisson/sslchecker
Multiple fails at writing some basic CSS directives. Yet highly acurate at writing jest unit tests.

2dAs usual, I tried to build a whole app with Copilot… and it actually worked. Now I just sit here wondering if I should put “Co-founder: GitHub Copilot” on the About page. I was just experimenting with an idea, and Copilot built the entire app. Pretty sure it’s applying for my job next. 🤖💼👀
