I absolutely love the autonomous coding agents! I really didn't care much for AI at all until I heard about Copilots Coding Agent - my only problem now? By the time they released it to business subscribers, I was already out of premium requests. So, to date - I've gotten exactly 4 prompts (one was just cause I was so excited that I had to hit the button - without any real prompt or setup - chance at success = 0% 🀣).

There's so many things you can do with those, though! A couple of my projects right now are centered around GitHub Actions and Coding Agent, so before you merge a PR it can do things like:

  • Create architectural diagrams and tech docs
  • Add perfect structured logging
  • Truly random chaos testing

What did you find most surprising about this workflow? Is there anything you'd recommend that really works for you?
