Working on GitHub Copilot @github @microsoft. Distinguished Slopopotamus. Wrong 50% of the time. My views.

Been using Qwen 3.8 27B (Q4) locally on 64GB of VRAM. Here is the verdict: SLOW 18 tps with ZERO system prompt to process and that degrades significantly with a harness system prompt and as the context window grows. RIP if you have to compact. I had it implement this PRD and it's been running for 6 hours. By comparison Grok 4.6 and Kimi K3 hosted finished in about ~30 minutes. High hopes, but these 27B variants are too dense. This is not a consumer grade local model - and I consider consumer grade to be anything up to $5000.

Qwen3-Coder 30B running locally in the @GitHub Copilot app (ollama) spitting ~85 tokens per second on 96GB VRAM. It's not Sol, but we're getting somewhere.

I remember when building a date picker was one of the hardest things you could do in frontend dev. This was just me telling @GitHub Copilot "/grill-me lets make a date picker". It's really an incredible time to be doing this job. Huge thanks to Matt Pocock for grill-me.

Engineer who works on the terminal for @Code just showed me that the latest release autocompletes git branch names...🤯 Thanks, Megan!

The integration between the Copilot CLI and Visual Studio Code is actually brilliant. Terminal tab titles are now updated by the agent in realtime and you'll see a 🤖 icon while the agent is working. It's always the little things, ya'll.

Let's do @Code UI/UX tips/tricks all day. Here's another of my faves... Wrap the code blocks in the chat. Makes it much easier to scan the responses.

Can we just pause for a moment and marvel at the time we live in? I wanted a SQLite editor in the GitHub Copilot app, but that doesn't exist. So I just asked Opus for it. And got one WITH INTELLISENSE. It's just...I can't even believe it sometimes

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.

Prompt caching in @GitHub Copilot in 13 minutes. This video almost did me in. Easily the hardest topic I've ever tried to cover.

Opus 4.5 is absolutely goated. I built AN ENTIRE VIDEO EDITING APPLICATION FOR WINDOWS IN ABOUT AN HOUR. No tricks. No special prompts, no prompt driven dev. Just me, Visual Studio Code, and Opus 4.5 having a convo via the mic. I feel like this is what we were promised, and it's here.

I discovered the wildest feature of GitHub Copilot CLI by complete accident last night. You can have models call each other. So you can have Opus, Codex and Gemini all working together in the same chat.🤯

The new canvas feature of the @GitHub Copilot App is pretty 🔥. You can just create any app interface you need on the fly. Here's a canvas that show all my worktrees for a project & how far they've diverged from main.

When I heard about the Copilot SDK, my first thought was whether or not I could build an agent to control my desktop. So I did that. Being able to build and pass custom tools to the agent is op.

Microsoft released a Work IQ MCP server that lets you basically bring organizational context into anything with simple prompts. So I built a @Code extension to tell me when I'm missing meetings and show me all documents that might be relevant to the current repo. Coming soon!

GitHub just released a technical preview of the "GitHub Copilot App" - a new agentic development tool that brings agents and @GitHub together in one pane of glass. I've been using this daily for a few weeks. I think you're going to love it.

The Copilot CLI - how to configure and use it, some tweaks I make and a few of my own workflows / custom agent. I was proud of this one. Pretty much a one shot. It's wild how easy it is to make content when a thing is good.

In the past if you wanted to extend a tool like Visual Studio Code, you had to write an extension. In GitHub Copilot app, you just tell the app what you want that it doesn't have, and it adds it. For instance, need a visual editor for a sqlite db? 60 seconds later...

The @GitHub Copilot CLI has a feature called "autopilot" that is essentially its version of a Ralph loop. But how does it hold up to an actual Ralph Loop? Let's find out...

You can legit build your own OpenClaw🦞 from scratch in about 20 minutes with the GitHub Copilot SDK. And when you build it, you can make it do anything. Here's how to build a personal AI assistant, and how I'm using one today.

The beautiful thing about the GitHub Copilot CLI is that it is endlessly hackable. You can use it to stand up any workflow you can dream up. Here's one workflow I've been toying with - a whole dev team, managed by Copilot.

You can't keep up with every skill, mcp, prompt, trick, workflow, loop, etc. It's ok. Stop trying. 90% of it is just noise. The harness is all you need.
