Stacked sessions and pull requests in the GitHub Copilot app

Cassidy Williams shares her experience of using the GitHub Copilot app to modernize an outdated personal app, emphasizing the transformative potential of AI in software development. Initially, she struggled with updating the app's dependencies and style, which were built with old technologies like React 15 and Less for CSS. The GitHub Copilot app facilitated a more efficient workflow by allowing her to create "stacked sessions" and "stacked pull requests," streamlining the process of updating the app's frontend and addressing compatibility issues with libraries like react-bootstrap. Despite initial setbacks and scope creep challenges, the AI-assisted tools enabled her to organize her tasks better, leading to successful code updates and a renewed sense of enthusiasm for managing her project. Williams highlights the ease and efficiency of using modern tools like GitHub Copilot for maintaining and modernizing legacy codebases.
