@awakecoding Oh, right, I think there’s a closed source native component they distribute for it. I forgot it wasn’t just signtool 😔

@bgrainger I haven't tried porting the required module yet, but I certainly will give it a try: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ar…

Who's interested in a Rust port of signtool.exe with built-in support for all file formats that can be code signed with Authenticode? I have Windows version using the Win32 APIs, and a portable version that runs on Linux. Help me find a proper name for the project 🎙️

I'm burning premium requests like there's no tomorrow until June 1st 😎

New way to measure ROI on dev tools? Vendor: This tool costs $99 per engineer per month. Me: Great, now show me how it reduces token costs per head by that much.

Anyone who uses more Copilot premium requests than you is a slop cannon; anyone who uses fewer is a Luddite.

@LukeParkerDev Been a while since I saw that animation; you need diskanalyzer.com

rest in peace my hard drive she got hit by a bazooka

@LukeParkerDev You and Dan Luu: danluu.com/everything-is-…

sometimes i think im the only person using popular software given how many bugs i find

This, but for code reviews

@pierceboggan Yes, please! github.com/orgs/community…

The agent Keep/Undo UX gets in the way for me. I'd just prefer to just auto-accept. I have a PR up that adds a setting to auto-keep and hide keep/undo UI, but interested in your thoughts! github.com/microsoft/vsco…

@BobPritchett @AlaskaAir Correct: it *should* allow the number through 😀

@AlaskaAir Except it doesn't. That red message is from your site. Someone took the time to write code to detect dashes in a phone number and then return an error message rather than stripping them out in code. And that's not anyone's phone number -- note the '555'.

Still waiting for the airline adventurous enough to have their website reviewed by an actual customer who wants to fly. It's going to be a game-changer. I'm looking at you @AmericanAir ... and @AlaskaAir ... and everyone. (Doesn't anyone watch their parents try to use their web site before they ship it any more?)

@nuget Standardize `AGENTS.md` inside NuGet packages (just like Package READMEs) for package authors to provide usage examples, links to docs, etc. tailored for LLMs consuming the package. (Would also need a tool exposed to Copilot in VS that can extract this AGENTS.md.)

Hi .NET developers, What's your experience with making tools and libraries better for AI and agentic development? Anything NuGet can do to make that experience better?

@pierceboggan Love that Background Agents will commit as they go (code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/a…). Now bring that to foreground agents! Delete the Keep/Undo UI and just commit after each change. github.com/orgs/community…

@aSteveCleary I think of this every time I present my light mode screen: youtube.com/shorts/nZ7TPpZ…

If I were to make a video tutorial that included code, should I use a dark theme or light theme? I use dark for coding on my own machine, but I usually use light for presenting to others.

@pierceboggan If there's a way to make VSCode and CLI read the same *personal* (not per-repo) instructions file, I was too dumb to figure it out. Even tried COPILOT_CUSTOM_INSTRUCTIONS_DIRS.

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

@OrenMe @GitHubCopilot Because that’s a tool Anthropic has built into their models? (You just have to supply the implementation.) platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents…

Lately @GitHubCopilot added repo memory feature to it's agents for cloud, review and CLI Now they have hooked up the local repo memory tool to the Anthropic models with local repo level memories so if agent comes across important facts it will store them and manage staleness It's interesting that the first feature for cloud, review and CLI is not hooked by API to the new @code repo level memory - but I have a feeling we will be seeing new things at this front sometime in the future No special config - just automatically bootstrapped in the agent system prompt Agent will now be a lot more aware of past decisions Just one question - why just Anthropic models? or am I'm missing anything?

@Aaronontheweb Still trying to figure out if there's a game-changing feature or capability that I should be using CC for daily.

@Aaronontheweb I think there's a huge mass of developers who are years—not months—behind and the blog posts are targeted at them?

Using Copilot in public is 2026's version of using a Windows Phone in public - the only people doing it are Microsoft employees or fanbois.

@Aaronontheweb I am aware that Copilot does tend to play catch-up: Anthropic will invent MCP or Agent Skills (or the CLI agent itself) and those will take a few months to be supported in Copilot. I'm OK with not being fully on the bleeding edge.

OK, I'll bite. I use Copilot. I've dabbled with CC, Gemini CLI, and Codex (all via API). Hearing a lot of buzz about OpenCode but haven't tried it (yet). But Copilot Business is my daily driver (>75% using CLI). I see a lot of takes that "Claude >>>> Copilot" but none with any substance. I'm honestly interested in finding out what all these people know that I don't. I might even *gulp* watch a video of someone demonstrating the differences. What am I missing?
