    * Copilot is great * Great for sanity checking your plans or designs (ex: "What are the best ways of securing a multi-tenant application?") * Great for bootstrapping a presentation…

    Why not? It's a great mix of productivity and power and the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem works really well together. You can go with dynamic languages if you're flying fast and loose,…
