Hosting GitHub Copilot Dev Days Toronto event today with @dlloyd at the @Centrilogic office. This hands-on, in-person session is all about applying AI-assisted coding techniques to real-world development using @GitHubCopilot. It’s shaping up to be an awesome learning experience!

Introducing Copilot Chronicle. All of your session data indexed and searchable by the agent via FTS and SQL queries. Analyze your sessions to auto-update instructions, find details about that bug you fixed last week, and figure out which times of day you're most productive.

Great turnout at last night’s Toronto Enterprise DevOps user group! Our “Agentic DevOps: Redefining SDLC” session packed the room and sparked lively conversation. Thanks to everyone who came out and joined in. Happy Holidays — see you in 2026! 🎉❄️ #DevOps #AgenticAI
