I wrote a blog post about one of the more advanced automations we've got setup on Awesome Copilot to facilitate external plugins - aaron-powell.com/posts/2026-05-…

As someone maintaining some large OSS repos that are seeing an influx - this is going to be super helpful

drowning in low-quality PRs? we're giving maintainers the power to set contribution limits, starting with a PR cap for outside contributors and an allowlist for your trusted ones. sneak peek below 👇

Did you know the new GitHub App can have custom sounds set of Session complete and Need input? Well, I have a Warcraft 2 Peon and the ICQ uh-oh. Wonder how long they'll last before the joke wears thin 😅

When people complain about GitHub outages, I point to the fact that I'm daily reviewing PRs from profiles that have stuff like this in their history. Like, this is just insane, this volume is insane, and I've seen it from countless profiles now.

@JamesMontemagno wait... people select models manually?!

English

James Montemagno@JamesMontemagno·5d

Auto model selection gets better and better. Selection now routes to the best model for your task, using utilization and model health metrics for a high quality, reliable, and token-efficient experience. github.blog/changelog/2026…

James Montemagno@JamesMontemagno

I am 15 days in to my "only use auto model selection" in @code, GitHub Copilot CLI, and GitHub Copilot Cloud Agent. I gotta say that I am impressed with basically all the models. Fast, get it done, and have rarely had to switch and pick and actual model by hand.

Almost time for #MSBuild. In a few weeks I’ll be in San Francisco, getting hands-on with new tools for agentic workflows + AI and sharing projects built with Microsoft Foundry and GitHub Copilot. Going in person or online? Let’s connect: build.microsoft.com @Microsoft

Next time GitHub is having an outage, someone remind me to launch it, probably forgot after a reboot of my computer. (this was how the GitHub App was showing up for a while on PowerToys Launch when we were dogfooding)

Sitting here, looking at a PR I created on a repo I own debating if I just yolo it in without anyone reviewing it. What could go wrong

@theo it's also a fair observation that I'm not the standard dev flow setup 😅

Theo - t3.gg@theo·14 May

@slace …fair point We have separate server instances in a single gui instance as a first class citizen at least 🙃🙃

Are you still using the CLI versions of your preferred agent instead of desktop apps like Codex App, Conductor, or T3 Code? Tell me why below. Genuinely curious.

Theo - t3.gg@theo

Just learned it's literally impossible to paste images into Claude Code over SSH. How do you CLI people live like this??

@theo well, that's the common design of a modern editor, which is why stuff like devcontainers/wsl/ssh works, but you are adding a secondary layer in there which is the agent.
