In The Blink of AI with Georgie Healy GitHub’s VP on the New Era of No-Code + AI
Episode Summary
AI is lowering the barrier to software development faster than anyone expected, and GitHub’s APAC VP Sharryn Napier has a front row seat. In this conversation, she shares how she built a personal to-do list app in under an hour with GitHub Copilot and Spark, despite not writing code herself. Georgie and Sharryn explore why millions of new developers are joining the platform, how 80 percent of new signups use Copilot within their first week, and what the explosion of no-code experimentation means for both beginners and seasoned engineers.
They also unpack the chaos and opportunity of the multi-agent era, where GitHub’s new Agent HQ aims to keep developers productive, secure, and in control. From open source culture and the next wave of technical talent to enterprise adoption, risk, and the future of software creation, this episode offers an inside look at how AI is transforming who builds software and how it gets made.
