If you are old like me, and sometimes you think electronics are working against you, try an experiment with me. Start all new accounts with a birthdate somewhere between 2000-2005. Turn all 'custom' advertising off. Tell me how it goes.

I mean the dollars vote seems to be loud, but I don't have to include my own. Also, are we supposed to trust them with PII, etc?

Has no one else noticed that the Claude website is complete crap and the reason their emails are going to spam is because of one time email addresses and very spam-like content and activity? Is this the pattern you want to duplicate?

Don't get me wrong, Alissa's new single is fantastic. The more polar the fans are about both projects, the better you know they are. 🤘

I think Arch Enemy just restored my faith in Metal. Dust the California off your feet and proceed to the next level...

@shanselman ...so maybe I am going about it backwards, but I am building my framework for letting one person write encapsulated code to do a thing really really well so another person can tell their agent about it... still working on protecting myself from it if detonates in my chamber

Visual Studio Copilot has a way to go. Feels like they are patronizing us developers by just shoving GitHub Copilot in there to placate us. INTEGRATED doesn't blast beat PowerShell which sets off my security nerves. We need proper build and test explorer integration. basic.

coincidentally referring to the solution given AND the copilot usability. <Esc> should be the primary way to abort stupidity. I often get results that are about 35% of what I want so I accept and edit. In git commit messages it is even lower, but you have to accept to edit

Don't be fooled by statistics @VisualStudio , the @Copilot team is manipulating the results by making it easier to accept and edit. This is BS:

Looks like Google Gemini hides the cancel button. Is there a class action I can sign on?

@VisualStudio , isn't about time we got a functional diff tool? The one in VS2026 insider is still crap.

Anyone else notice that VS Code Copilot got a bit sloppy just before Visual Studio Copilot got good... and before GitHub Copilot was open sourced? ... moved some secret sauce behind a paywall, did we?

Wow, just started using Grok Code Fast 1 with Copilot and what a nightmare. I said "make file name a parameter" it said 'input a pattern and I will inject live variables into it...' #fail
