I got to sit down with @maddymontaquila to talk career, product thinking, and her work on Aspire. She’s thoughtful, candid, and brings a great perspective. Watch here: youtu.be/u_JhoyttQHY

We know some of you rolled your eyes at "AI features." Fair. Watch this anyway. GitKraken AI handles commit messages, PR drafts, and conflict hints. Your code stays yours. Your opinions about AI can stay too ;)

Remote control is now live in the Copilot CLI! Run Copilot on your local machine, leave it plugged in, head to the beach, and drive the agent from your mobile phone 😎

The @GitHub Research folks released a "Rubber Duck" agent for the Copilot CLI. Automatically get a review from a model from a different AI family. And their data shows that yes, this does in fact help. Quite a bit.

 “Stop making your agent a process manager” The agent harnesses really suck at this. Some attempt to keep track of background processes but the experience is not good. Having a dedicated tool that the agent can query results in a much better devex. @aspiredotdev does this.

Hey folks! Today I’m launching N‑Studio — the successor to ScreenToGif. It’s a passion project that’s been years in the making, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed building it. nicke.tech/n-studio

We just launched a free, open-source course on GitHub Copilot CLI. Learn how to ship faster with AI powered command line workflows—context, custom agents, skills, MCP servers, and more. Hands on. Practical. Built for devs. Check it out: github.com/github/copilot…

All my former Vimeo videos are now free on YouTube; here's the playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=… (there were a handful of Vimeo videos that are too out-of-date, so I didn't upload those)

Hey folks, had some conversations about this today so thought it would be helpful to be clear. GitHub does not and does not plan to include advertisements on the platform. We recently identified a programming logic issue in the GitHub Copilot coding agent that caused a 'product tip', including a third-party suggestion, to appear incorrectly in a pull request comment. This issue was introduced on March 24 during a rollout that expanded Copilot’s ability to contribute to any pull request when requested to by a developer. As a result, a third-party link was mistakenly displayed in a way that could be interpreted as a promotion. Our goal was to share novel ways to use Copilot coding agent, and in this case, we highlighted our integration with Raycast as part of a broader set of product tips, but this was surfaced more frequently than intended alongside other feature suggestions. We have removed Copilot agent tips from all pull requests moving forward. We appreciate the community flagging this and apologize for the error.

Git worktree support is coming to Visual Studio! The feature request ticket just got moved to the roadmap. developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Git-worktree…

@mkristensen I use them all the time. They are visual markers of things I want to come back to. Often things I see while debugging. I don't want to break my thought pattern of the debugging session, but I also don't want to forget about it.

Do you use bookmarks in Visual Studio? Tell me why or why not?

Part two of my "async gotchas" series is up! youtu.be/Rhct4cHDjGo Side note: I found a few videos of mine on Vimeo from like 10 years ago; I'm hoping to get a chance to edit those and upload them later this week.

The .github and MCP extension for Visual Studio now supports .claude and .agents folders too and supports skills from dotnet/skills and Anthropic as well. Grab it here: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

Today I was diagnosing a build failure by going through a MSBuild binlog. Thankfully I found an awesome little #mcp by @ChetHusk that saved me quite a bit of time by letting copilot help track down what was happing. github.com/baronfel/mcp-b…
