Mark Russinovich discusses what resilience means at Azure’s scale, using a 2014 near-outage as a starting point to explain how Azure tests failure, defines service health, and responds to incidents. He also covers how AI and AI agents change reliability assumptions, and where Azure’s architecture frameworks fit.

Visual Studio Code highlights the Debug Visualizer extension for VS Code, showing how it can visualize data structures while debugging so you can watch algorithms evolve as your program runs.

James Montemagno introduces Agent Merge (Experimental) in Visual Studio Code, showing how an agent can help keep pull requests moving by addressing review feedback, fixing failed checks, and resolving merge conflicts so a PR is ready to merge.

GitHub shows how the GitHub Copilot app can automate a daily pull request review workflow by grouping dependency update PRs by risk, checking CI build statuses, and summarizing what looks safe to merge.

Visual Studio Code highlights how the Prettier extension simplifies consistent code formatting directly in VS Code, making it easier to keep files clean and standardized while you work.

Amanda Silver explains how Microsoft engages with open source, including community-driven documentation and upstream contributions to projects like Kubernetes, Apache, and the Linux kernel, and why that work matters for interoperability and product quality.

GitHub explains how teams can move beyond basic AI code completion and chat to agentic workflows that automate real engineering tasks. The video highlights an internal GitHub example that automates a documentation lifecycle across multiple repositories using an agentic workflow approach.

GitHub discusses how organizations can respond when developers adopt unapproved AI coding tools, focusing on practical governance approaches that keep teams moving while reducing risk.

James Montemagno and Pierce Boggan demonstrate an end-to-end “agent-native” workflow with GitHub Copilot, moving between Slack, the Copilot app, VS Code, and the terminal to build, test, and ship an application. The session highlights connected agent sessions, live previews, automated issue triage, PR creation and resolution with agent merge, and HydraFusion for model/workflow selection.

Amanda Silver reflects on Microsoft’s shift toward building developer products in the open, touching on early ASP.NET support for jQuery and the later open-sourcing of TypeScript, Chakra, .NET, and Visual Studio Code.
