How 3 Java Champions Are Using GitHub Copilot to Boost Productivity

GitHub Blog interviews three Java Champions—Vlad Mihalcea, Patrick Baumgartner, and Frank Delporte—on their practical experiences using GitHub Copilot in production and open-source projects. Mihalcea reduced the development time of an Optimizer event history application from weeks to two days and created custom skills to match his writing style. Baumgartner migrated approximately 900 slides from Reveal.js to Marp in 8–10 hours, verifying accuracy via screenshots and PDF checks, and once directed a coding agent to build a Maven plugin with CI pipelines during a four-hour train ride. Delporte assigned a GPIO button failure issue in Pi4J to Copilot’s coding agent, receiving a pull request in about half an hour that identified virtual wiring issues.

Why it matters

Three senior Java developers share firsthand cases, validation methods, and skill accumulation practices with GitHub Copilot, offering approaches directly applicable to daily AI-assisted development.
