Wondering what I'm doing at Microsoft? I've joined the @azureadvocates Developer Relations team here in Australia. If you run a community, startup or are a student looking for support, reach out 😁

@burkeholland Auto!

What’s your daily rn?

@pierceboggan @maddymontaquila Pierce being asked to present

@maddymontaquila and you did it with a photo of me in my pajamas...

I called in a favor with @pierceboggan and now hes going to present at #AspireConf 🤩😈

Work is changing in fundamentally new ways in even just the past few months, collapsing role definitions and enabling teams to ship at previously unattainable velocity. I shared our stories from the VS Code team with @thenewstack on the transformation I've observed: thenewstack.io/vs-code-ai-cop…

@DanWahlin you should submit it to awesome copilot as a community sample

✨ 7 years after I set up a Quake III server, I have it running again, but now in the web browser, much easier 😊 👉 q3.pieter.com 👈 Back in 2019 we'd play a fork of Quake III called OpenArena in a Bali villa with @daniellockyer @marckohlbrugge @dannypostmaa @lenilsonjr_ @gvrizzo @AndreyAzimov @SeanParkRoss and other ppl But it broke after a new Mac update and they never really fixed it, it kinda sucked because it was actually the only game we could just load with friends online and play death match a bit and then continue your day Luckily @lukathedev built Q3JS which successfully compiles ioquake3 to WebAssembly and now it works in the browser To make it extra simple, I've set up a Q3JS server and frontend for you to use at q3.pieter.com, which loads you straight into the game A big problem is that most of the times, nobody's playing, so I've also added Web Notifications, which notifies you if enough human players join, so you can join a match. And I've added a daily match at 8 PM GMT every day which everyone also gets notified when it starts If you want more servers and maps etc, you can check out @lukathedev's own q3js.com HAPPY FRAGGING

Messing around with @home_assistant, @AvaloniaUI and GitHub Copilot SDK to try and build a little desktop AI chat for HA - github.com/aaronpowell/ho…

Awesome Copilot has been growing amazingly fast but with growth comes pain, especially with contributions-as-marketing. To ensure we continue to be a source of high-quality agents, skills, etc. I've updated our policy on paid service contributions - github.com/github/awesome…

@cinnamon_msft woo, folders!

@slace Oh do I have a gift for you 😉 check out the New Tab Menu page in settings!

You know what I want in Windows Terminal? Folders in the profile list. It'd be so useful to have folders in the profile selector so you don't have this huge long list

@cinnamon_msft Yeah, it's just a few extra steps

@slace So you could go to New tab... OR you can add custom commands to the Command Palette using the Actions page in your settings or in the JSON :) But yeah there is no default level 1 command for new tab: profile name

@cinnamon_msft Ok, next request for a feature I may have missed, command pallet typing the name of a profile rather than knowing the number

@slace ........2025 🫶

@cinnamon_msft So, only a month ago, or are we taking 2025 and I'm painfully behind 😅

@slace Shipped in Preview last February 😅

@DamianEdwards @davidfowl I have seen a tool someone built that does it for our expense platform

@davidfowl Did you consider using an agent to fill it out?

Filling out an expense report in the worst UI possible on one screen and living in the future doing software engineering with 4 terminal windows on the other. We have so much work to do...

@cinnamon_msft I use the ICQ "uh-oh", so much more triggering
