- [Instructor] Right, what are the possible performance bottlenecks in this application? What are my dependencies? We've seen thus far in the course using like the workspace participant, we can focus Copilot across our code base and ask it anything. Now, Copilot is only going to be as smart as it's dataset, as its training set. So also I want to give a shout out to multi-model support. Maybe you find Claude or DeepSeek gives you much more specific targeted advice in terms of improving I/O operations, you see. And this is where we can geek out on some of the algorithms, because I would encourage you to try to stump Copilot with your algorithmic knowledge. That would be a fun experiment. For me, it wouldn't take long. You'll find that Copilot suggests code refactoring. Now, as I said, you want to put in your custom instructions for Copilot to be bold or not be bold. You want to tell it how to speak to you, because otherwise it'll be a bit wishy-washy in my experience. So yeah, exactly…
