Dev squeezes 5 years of .NET MAUI grind into 2 Copilot-powered weeks: now PMs demand the same from the whole team

In a significant breakthrough, developer David Ortinau has achieved five years' worth of work in just two weeks, thanks to the power of GitHub Copilot and other cutting-edge tools. This milestone was made possible by the integration of Copilot with various.NET MAUI development tools, including MAUI Sherpa, MauiDevFlow, and PolyPilot. MAUI Sherpa is a desktop application that simplifies.NET MAUI development environment management, while MauiDevFlow enables Copilot to build, deploy, and debug MAUI apps without human intervention. PolyPilot, created by Shane Neuville, allows users to orchestrate multiple Copilot sessions from a single dashboard. The combination of these tools has enabled developers to work at an unprecedented pace, with Ortinau citing the ability of Copilot to "close the loop" and work autonomously as a key factor. This development has significant implications for the software development industry, potentially revolutionizing the way developers work and increasing productivity exponentially. As Ortinau notes, the key to unlocking this potential is removing the "pause and explain" tax, allowing Copilot to work uninterrupted and drive progress forward at an incredible rate.
