SUMMARY:7shifts presents "Adopting AI Powered Developer Tools" at Microso
 ft Co-Pilot
DESCRIPTION:7shifts is presenting two talks about GitHub Copilot **a**t M
 icrosoft Canada's HQ. This is a joint meet-up\, with (https://developer.
 microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/home/index/) at CIBC Square in downtown Toro
 nto. This is the building where the new GO Transit bus terminal is locat
 ed\, with direct PATH connection to Union Station. Thank you to Alixia a
 t Microsoft\, and to 7shifts\, for all their help making this joint meet
 -up happen. The meet-up is on the 43rd floor\, one of two floors that ar
 e made for conferences/shows/meet-ups. The facilities are terrific.  Mic
 rosoft is sponsoring pizza and beverages.  Please see the special notes 
 below\, as things are a bit different than how we usually do our meet-up
 s. \\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-Talk #1: Adopting AI Powered Developer Tools The hy
 pe around around AI developer tools is immense. It seems like new ones a
 re popping up daily but how do you know which to use? and how can you qu
 antify the impact of these tools on your development team? We had all of
  these questions and more when looking at adopting GitHub Copilot. We'll
  walk through how you can design experiments to cut through the hype and
  unearth the real impact new development tools can have on your team. We
 'll talk about how to run data driven experiments with your dev teams th
 at ensure you are making impactful and cost effective choices. Finally w
 e'll delve into the results of our experiments with AI assisted coding a
 nd what you should consider when adopting these tools. \\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\\
 -Talk #2: Building an AI Powered Engineering Blog Technical writing is h
 ard! 7shifts has always had a strong culture of internal knowledge shari
 ng. When we attempted to start sharing some of that knowledge externally
  through our Engineering blog it was unexpectedly difficult. Over the la
 st months we've been experimenting with AI to help us solve this problem
 . This talk will discuss how leveraging ChatGPT has made it easier for d
 evelopers at 7shifts to transition into technical writing. We'll explore
  the journey from internal dev talks to polished blogs ready for our pub
 lic R&D platform. You'll learn how to leverage AI tools to help your tea
 m's ideas reach a wider audience. ====**Registration is through the Micr
 osoft Reactor website\, only.** Microsoft will NOT recognize RSVP's done
  on this meetup.com event page.  Registration is ESSENTIAL. You need to 
 register at the Microsoft website to be allowed on the elevator. Registr

  has told me that last minute "show-ups" WILL NOT be accommodated. No on
 e is going down to the lobby and "wave you in".  You need a Microsoft QR
  code for access to the elevators (take the "41-49" bank of elevators. M
 icrosoft bulk generates the QR codes 48 hours prior to the event. You wi
 ll then go to the 43rd floor. There are no buttons to individual floors
