I’m just updating the firmware on my kitchen knife…

مصر والوں نے بھی خوبصورت ملی نغمہ ریلیز کر دیا

Took a half day from work because as a proud Indian I couldn’t watch colleagues of different nationalities congratulating Pakistani guy for saving the world. ‘

And in the end, PM Shahbaz Sharif, Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Ishaq Dar become the powerpuff girls that saved the world!

Thank you for attacking us in May 2025 @narendramodi

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes. Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days! @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi

For a change, this was a lovely AI generated video to watch #23rdMarch ❤️❤️ #PakistanDay (Great job @ReelWind_ — just found you on X)

⚡️Hadith about the end of times From a companion of the prophet Muhammad PBUH “If you see a column of fire from the East, in the month of Ramadan, in the sky, then prepare as much food as you can, for it is a year of starvation (famine)”. - the Tabi'i, Khalid ibn Ma'dan

@pierceboggan Let us queue messages

VS Code 🤝 GitHub Copilot CLI For folks using both together, what should we prioritize improving in the experience?

@burkeholland @github I'm a user of copilot in code. But I wish there was a way to queue messages. Just like we can do it on GitHub cloud

I do invite you to roast me and tell me where I'm wrong here, BUT... Here is why I think you should choose @github Copilot for your all your AI coding needs over any other tool. 🧵

This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.

From unhygienic venues forcing athletes to complain, to bird droppings stopping an international badminton match. From Australian women cricketers speaking up about inappropriate behaviour, to players from a certain background repeatedly facing visa hurdles, regardless of the country they represent. If basic safety, dignity and facilities can’t be ensured, perhaps stop bidding for global events until the bare minimum international standards are actually met. Sports deserve better. Athletes deserve better.

My annual MRI scan gives me a USB stick with the data, but you need this commercial windows software to open it. Ran Claude on the stick and asked it to make me a html based viewer tool. This looks... way better.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.
