This just feels like good educational practice too? I remember really enjoying TA'ing as an undergrad for courses I took the previous year, because THAT'S when I felt I _really_ learned the material. Likewise, when I was a lab con

I truly think you folks did the account transition in the most user-friendly, considerate way you possibly could. There was SO MUCH TIME to migrate and SO MANY WARNINGS about it needing to be done. I'm sorry you haven't been appre

Hi Alex! I'm Ryan, I run a Minecraft theme park recreation server. While our gamemode is very far from vanilla Minecraft (it plays more like a MMORPG), I've been interested in standing up a model like this to help automate agentic

That's what we've spent the last five months doing! Have you tried the Copilot CLI recently? We've onboarded loads of feedback from Microsoft devs who were switching from Claude Code -- I'm proud of how far the team has

Something cool that I've always liked about working at GitHub is how much of the company _runs on GitHub_ -- A lot of teams, even non-technical teams, have their own repos just to organize docs/SOP's/designs/etc lik

Copilot CLI PM here: I'm super proud of our team's velocity and vision as we took this from our admittedly bare-bones initial public preview back in September to what I believe is an industry-leading agentic harness.

Hey! I'm a PM on the Copilot CLI team. This sounds like a bug, we should follow the same premium request scheme as the VSCode extension! If you still have the session logs kicking around, can you email them to me? It's my hn usern

The Copilot CLI team has been making great strides towards improving our agentic harness! I'm curious, what have you found are the biggest shortcomings with it these days?

by ryanhecht 8mo ago
Give Copilot CLI a try if you haven't in a while! The team's been working really hard to improve the harness, and we're taking as much community feedback as we can get! Let me know if you run into any problems :) https:&#x2F

Maybe someone will finally build my dream: a WSL distro that I can also dual-boot natively. I'd love to switch between bare-metal Windows with WSL and bare-metal Linux with virtualized Windows at my leisure!
