I found myself repeatedly copying code out of Visual Studio to share it elsewhere. Opening individual files, copying pasting the content of each file and wrapping everything in markdown. So I put together a tiny extension that does it in one go. marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

I stopped competing with the internet and built an AI Slop Generator instead. It writes, publishes, and shares posts on a schedule. Agents, GitHub, workflows, secrets. This is probably the future of content. Agree or not?

I've published a new article: Building an Agentic Quantum Laboratory with Orpius It shows how to use AI agents to design OpenQASM experiments, run them via Qiskit and an ASP.NET Core tool host. #quantum #AgenticAI medium.com/@dbvaughan/d2c…

I miss the old solid yellow folder icons in VS 2022. The new hollow icons in 2026 reduce clarity for me. There's an issue for this over on the community site. Please up-vote if you're affected. developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Restore-Soli…

Orpius agents write C# code, compile it, fix their own build errors, and run the result inside a locked-down WebAssembly sandbox with isolated storage. This is coming client-side too, opening up local dev capabilities. Have a play: orpius.com/get-started.ht…

Add AI assistant to your app in minutes: Install the Orpius client, pick your model, define an agent, define a communication channel, add the SDK to your app, paste your integration credentials, and voilà, done. Your app now has an AI assistant. Anything else come close?

@mitri_drake @libsoftiktok Oh, thank you for a sane reply. Couldn't agree more.

Hugely excited our paper on Distributed Agent Reasoning is now on arXiv! We go beyond centralized agentic systems and tool use, with agents on independent systems, overseeing their own private data, communicating across organizational boundaries. arxiv.org/abs/2511.16292

Just used @windirstat to find large files in my docker context. I think I'm still using a windirstat version from the 2000s. It's one of those tools that is utterly indispensable when the need arises.

Seems like 04-mini-high got a speed up today, but with a reduction in ability. @OpenAI, am I just imaging things?

I think my former OpenAI colleague @nickcammarata makes a good point here that is very aligned with arguments from open-endedness, though said in his own unique way. I’d add that I think Nick is largely pointing to the perennial benchmark obsession that dominates the field. And this obsession is very related to the objective paradox we describe in Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned, which is the problem that the more you fixate on measurable progress towards a goal, the more likely you are heading into a brick wall and the less able you are to innovate. We should remember that the reason ChatGPT was one of the most quickly adopted technologies in history was not because people were wowed by some benchmark results, but rather because the qualitative experience was interesting, even fascinating! So for those itching to break out of the objective paradox, instead of thinking about how to ace a test (as tempting as that is), try to imagine what experience would be similarly fascinating to the general public without needing any benchmark result at all. That is the path of the interesting instead of the path of the objective, and indeed we often collapse to something like only 1% of effort given to the path of the interesting. Those 99% who are trapped wallowing in false security blanket of the objective paradox dwell there at their peril.

I've noticed that Dall-e inside ChatGPT, uses the photoshop checkered background when you specify a transparent background. I wonder if this happens elsewhere.
