Webinar Burning Questions: Hot Takes on Developer Tools, AI, & What’s Next June 29, 2026 | 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT
By Insight Editor / 7 May 2026 / Topics: Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Not every webinar turns up the heat. This one does. Bite by bite (and take by take), Insight and GitHub will work their way through the boldest opinions in the industry, with each one earning a verdict: Defend It, Debunk It, or Double Down.
From GitHub Copilot adoption and AI's real impact on developer productivity, to how enterprise billing is shifting and what a technology partnership actually looks like in practice, the conversation gets bolder — and so does what they're eating — with every round.
Whether you're a developer, an IT leader, or someone who enjoys watching expert hot takes, this one's worth clearing your calendar for.
