Est-ce que Cursor est le premier outil en mode "agent" que tu utilises? J'ai aussi fait beaucoup de milage sur du ChatGPT en copiant/collant du code dedans avant d'essayer VSCode + GitHub Copilot en mode agent. Vraiment le jour et la nuit, et Cursor devrait être dans la même veine

You're paying for more than one personally? Each subscription is quite expensive 🫰 are you thinking of settling with just one between ChatGPT and Claude?

Let me know how it goes, I haven't tried Cursor yet

How many separate paid AI subscriptions do you currently have from your employer? ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, you name it.

Microsoft should learn the Kano model of customer satisfaction: the Bing search in the Start menu provides no real value, yet its presence degrades performance and stability of its core feature: starting apps in Windows.

"look for the icon with the 'W' on it"

Oh wait.

Try typing "Word" in the Start menu instead

Wait, why did it just launch Bing to search for Word in Edge?

Even ChatGPT can't tell what it's supposed to represent

Cloudflare WARP but it makes no difference if it's on or off. I renamed my .wslconfig to let WSL use whatever networking defaults it has and it's been "working" so far

I've shown GitHub Copilot to one of our senior developers set to retire in a year. You wouldn't believe how fast he figured out he could open several tabs to do multiple tasks in parallel, and then would keep telling me all the stuff GitHub Copilot did for him that he's glad he didn't have to do

Who else has been running into "wsl: An internal error occurred. Error code: CreateInstance/CreateVm/ConfigureNetworking/0x8007054f" recently? WSL networking randomly failing in ways that a "wsl --shutdown" can't fix is becoming quite a problem

I know about it, but I never really investigated how it truly works under the hood. I think it's supposed to remove an indirection level when you're using a nested RDP session. We have a .RDP file option in MsRdpEx to turn it on in mstsc: github.com/Devolutions/...

Add an option to connect to child session by hardening · Pull Request #81 · Devolutions/MsRdpEx

This option is not available in a regular rdp file, but it's convenient for tests to have it handled by MsRdpEx.

@gozwift.bsky.social @zwiftinsider.com here's a crazy concept for "vibe riding" - have users accumulate points based on power output which they can redeem for AI-generated virtual rides similar to the climb portals, based on personal preferences

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 7d

I guess for it to qualify as vibe riding I'd need to somehow use AI in the process and trust it blindly 😅

I took a break from vibe coding for a bike ride 🚴🍂

Nope, I had not seen this! Thanks for the links, I will definitely take a closer look

I want to migrate 1500+ WinForms dialogs to Avalonia using GitHub Copilot (or anything similar). I'll consider it a win if it can do the heavy lifting, a lot of those are simple dialogs of similar structure.

How would you go about it? Got any advice or strategies to consider? 💡

Do you pay for AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or GitHub Copilot out of your own pocket, for personal use?

If you don't, is it because you already have access through your employer?

No problem! Crossing fingers 🤞

Thanks Daniel! Is this a Slack workspace I can access as a Microsoft MVP? I'm only aware of the Teams for MVPs

You would be surprised, we did a webinar earlier this week on the new MCP server in RDM, and we've got feedback that users would like us to work on the built-in RDM AI assistant, rather than focus solely on making it possible to connect your existing AI assistant: bsky.app/profile/awak...
