[SGVLUG] SGV Linux Users Group Monthly Meeting: Thursday, September 8th · 6:45 PM PST

[Braddock Gaskill]

Hi folks,
I am looking forward to giving a presentation TONIGHT IN PERSON at IHOP on
the Github Copilot AI.  Copilot is dubbed an artificial pair programmer but
I think it has much more significance than that.  It and future machines
will change the way we code.

Details below.
