GitHub Copilot just climbed to #64 on the all-time contributors list for the .NET MAUI repo.
The .NET MAUI team’s been giving it actual DevOps and coding work, not just autocomplete. The “dream” they’re shooting for is:
- Someone files an issue
- Copilot gets a bit of context
- It writes the fix + tests
- CI passes, PR merged, done
Microsoft reports that sometimes it works like magic, other times not so much. In some repos it’s merging PRs faster than humans, in others it’s struggling with tougher issues. But it’s clearly moving beyond being “just autocomplete.”
