Summary
🚀 In this episode of Beginner’s Guide to AI, Dietmar Fischer speaks with Naga Santhosh Reddy Vootukuri (aka Sunny), a Principal Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft working on Azure SQL deployment infrastructure. Sunny shares his personal journey into AI, from early ChatGPT experiments in late 2022 to using AI tools in production workflows, and what actually changed his day to day work. 💡 You’ll hear how he thinks about GitHub Copilot inside Visual Studio, where it saves time, and where engineers still need to slow down and verify outputs. The episode also goes beyond coding into leadership and adoption: how managers can help teams use AI responsibly, and why showing outcomes and numbers matters more than hype. Sunny also connects the dots to the broader industry shift toward AI agents and structured tooling like GitHub Models and Docker’s evolving AI ecosystem. ✅ Key takeaways you can use immediately Practical AI adoption for engineers and managers GitHub Copilot productivity in real workflows, not demos Why AI code can look correct and still be wrong, and how to respond The rise of AI agents and what it means for everyday teams How GitHub Models lowers friction for evaluating models and prompts Why Docker is leaning into agent workflows and developer productivity 📧💌📧 Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes, don't forget to subscribe to our Newsletter: beginnersguide.nl 📧💌📧 About Dietmar Fischer: Dietmar is a podcaster and AI marketer from Berlin.
