@jukan05 @burkeholland As a result, other options get adopted. While waiting, we explored and added Cursor and Codex to the toolset. Personally, I think Copilot CLI is under-rated - but the playing-catch-up has taken a hit, in my opinion.

@jukan05 @burkeholland IME it's suffered in part with playing catch-up, and in-part the mixed picture of what features are available in which IDE (VS has been painful vs VS Code). All the while, others were shipping and shipping. Copilot CLI took an age (relatively!) to go GA too.

Why does it feel like people talk so little about GitHub Copilot? I think $MSFT is in a stronger position than Google when it comes to coding.

Hey @_Evan_Boyle - is sandbox support on the roadmap for Copilot CLI?

The Copilot CLI is now GA!

@mkristensen AI features - by far and away the biggest driver I see for jumping out of VS.

What features or extensions make you jump from Visual Studio to other IDEs and editors to perform certain tasks?

@_Evan_Boyle @burkeholland Been watching all the great progress - keep at it!

@burkeholland @AdaTheDev Soon 👀

The Copilot CLI is…so good. I cannot recommend strongly enough that you start using it immediately.

Yeah, I could switch out to VS Code for Copilot and then back to VS. But would be great to have better first class support in VS for the in-IDE experience. I'm increasingly switching out to Codex CLI, which is working very well. Keen to make use of Copilot CLI once it goes GA

Biggest barrier I personally see to further adoption of GitHub Copilot is how far behind the experience and supported feature-set feels in Visual Studio compared to VSCode, Cursor etc. And combined with Copilot CLI being in Preview, it shifts attention elsewhere.

@stevensanderson Any idea when Copilot CLI is likely to go GA Steve?

As of 5 minutes ago, Copilot SDK's Node/.NET/Python packages now auto-bundle Copilot CLI in your build output. It means apps built on Copilot SDK don't have to worry about deploying Copilot CLI manually, and version mismatches are no longer possible. github.com/github/copilot…

@DevLeaderCa @mkristensen This. Release cadence has improved, but VS feels so far behind with AI features. And often hangs during tool calling when e.g. running scripts.

@mkristensen @mkristensen as a Visual Studio user, I am seeing vscode get all of the AI features for Copilot before Visual Studio gets it. I'm really hoping I don't see vscode get things like mutli-agent workflows before they're supported natively in Visual Studio.

I grew up loving Visual Studio from its earliest days. It hurts to admit how far it’s fallen behind. Cursor and even VS Code feel alive and evolving, while the flagship IDE I once adored feels abandoned in slow motion. I never thought I’d outgrow Visual Studio — but it outgrew me

@mjovanovictech SqlBulkCopy is a great approach - been my go to for many years when I need high perf loading. You can get more throughout too, with tweaks like Table lock, loading to a heap table and parallel loads. Blogged about that here - 20 million rows in 12.3s: adathedev.co.uk/2011/01/sqlbul…

What's the fastest way to do a SQL bulk insert? I tested out all the popular approaches... SqlBulkCopy is your winner. It's the fastest way to insert a large amount of data into SQL Server. But it does require writing more code than the other approaches. Postgres has the COPY command, which works similarly.

One of my biggest UX gripes with GitHub Copilot (in VS) is that you have to wait for the whole response to be generated before you can read it due to the auto-scrolling as the response streams in. Would be a big plus to be able to stop the auto-scroll!

@GergelyOrosz This frustrated me recently too - ended up opening a separate browser, select the odd 1 seat temporarily to hold it, then choose the other seats I wanted back in my main session.

Tried to reserve 4 seats next to each other for a movie where there were a total of 5 seats remaining free in the row The web app did not allow booking seats to have an empty seat left so was impossible But check was on client-side: so I overrode it Love being a dev sometimes

@mark_heath Not yet - closest thing to that I've done is to migrate .NET unit test projects away from FluentAssertions to native asserts (or in theory Shouldly). Handled over 95% of the migration

has anyone successfully used an LLM to port a codebase from one language to another? Feels like it is something that could be automated successfully, but haven't seen any substantial examples yet. Am thinking of trying this to convert codecs/dsp code to .NET

@mkristensen Never felt the pressing need. However, now it's much more noticeable with GH Copilot having to wait for features. But, this would be the main blocker:

Why don't you use the preview version of Visual Studio?

@rakyll Availability and ease of acquiring model quota (PAYG), within Europe. Especially for new models. Without doubt, this is THE biggest challenge I've faced (on Azure OpenAI and AWS Bedrock - am currently onboarding Vertex AI atm).

If you had a magic stick to make Google focus on one big problem this year in the context of AI serving stack, what would that be? Tell me and I'll try to make it happen. 👇

@pcnerd37 @mkristensen I was about to say the exact same thing.

@mkristensen I'd like to see VS treated as a first class citizen when it comes to new GitHub copilot changes. It seems like forever between VS Code gets features and when VS 2022 gets them.

Twitterverse! Help me out? I’m looking for a voiceover generator for some demo/tutorial videos. I’ve tried a few, but they all sound a bit… ‘robot-y’! What’s really good and recommended for a natural voice?
