Is there a way to open and reference *multiple* workspaces from GitHub Copilot in VSCode at the same time? I often want to have GitHub Copilot analyze code from another local git clone that isn't the current workspace

I settled on a new PowerShell Pro Tools logo. I think it's different enough but somewhat resembles the old logo. I'll release a new version in the next few days.

I just noticed the "explain error" button in the GitHub Actions web interface that automatically launches GitHub Copilot to analyze the logs from a failed build job. I'm going to use this a lot!

Migrating to a new phone is fun except for the part where all the weird Entra ID accounts in Microsoft Authenticator don't transfer, forcing you to figure out how to re-login to avoid losing tenant access. In this case, the tenant is marked inactive so I can't even login

While I appreciate the intent behind the GitHub Copilot metrics dashboard, this is a classic case of data visualization that only shows big numbers and pie charts without enough detailed insight. Thankfully one can download the raw json and analyze it in GitHub Copilot 👇

How do you build an AI chatbot directly exposed to end users, in a case where you pay for the service on their behalf? Do you generate client-specific API keys? Do you use a reverse proxy for the LLM API keys to avoid pushing the real API key to the client? What are off-the-shelf solutions?

Here are my thoughts on AI from #msignite 2026:
Agents, agents, agents. While I personally doubt most organizations are using a lot of AI agents *today*, I wouldn't be surprised if we're just a year early on that front. I personally haven't used agents much yet, there's so much on the to-do list

If you haven't tried LM Studio yet, you're missing out. I love the way it surfaces a lot of information and just guides you through it. The staff picks for models really helps figuring out what to download - but it also tells you if the model is likely going to fit your hardware
