Didn't know that #GitHubCopilot has a CLI version. At work, I mostly use the #AmazonQ #VSCode extension because of the company licence. It's much worse than Copilot, but they have a CLI version for #Linux which is pretty good, especially for fixing problems with OS. github.com/features/cop...
GitHub Copilot CLI
GitHub Copilot CLI reads, writes, and runs code where you work. Code faster, smarter, together.

🕰️ AWS quietly moved the TLS cutoff for Redshift from Oct 31 to Jan 31, 2026. No email. No alert. Just a doc update. If your drivers still default to TLS 1.0/1.1, this affects you

How I spent my summer learning to talk to robots 🤖
Took 6 GenAI certs ( #Google, #IBM, #AWS, #Microsoft, etc.) via #CourseraPlus.
Wrote a short blog post to share the ride.

I'm mostly a UI-first dev—only touch the console when absolutely necessary. But for installing and updating apps on #Windows11, I've fully switched to #winget. CLI wins here: faster, cleaner, and way more convenient than manual installs.
#Windows #DevLife #CLIconvert #ProductivityTools
Terminal window showing the output of the winget upgrade command on Windows 11. A table lists installed applications with columns for Name, Id, Version, Available (update version), and Source. Apps like Git, Microsoft Edge, Python, Visual Studio, Discord, and Microsoft Teams are shown with newer versions available via the winget source.

Could you please share your list of people to follow for topics related to #dotnet, #aspnetcore and #csharp? Or, if you write about these topics even occasionally, ping me in this thread and I will follow you.

Would love some feedback and maybe a star 🤩
