Here is a quick demo using the gh CLI to ssh into a codespace, using neovim with copilot to write a whole Go method in the cli/cli repo. #GitHubUniverse #GitHubCopilot #copilot #github

Does anybody else reflexively and immediately change the station as soon as they hear @RadioMadison come on air because they’re worried she’s going to randomly try to practice her French for no reason? IDK it bothers me so much 😂

The other day at the car wash I pulled out a chromebook and resumed working on a project via Codespaces, using the devcontainer definition I'd initially created locally on my PC. It Just Worked.

There's not much that makes smile me in dev world right now, but the whole Github ▶ Web View ("." from the repo page) ▶ Codespaces ▶ Local VSCode connected to Codespace ▶ Devcontainer ▶ Codespace from Github project portability cycle has been bringing me a lot of pleasure.

Thanks to the hard work of the Codespaces team, GitHub engineers can now bootstrap their dev environments in the cloud in <10 seconds (35gb image 😱). Today we're making Codespaces available to more teams to move their own development to the cloud.
I helped lead the github.com migration from local macOS dev to Codespaces and went from skeptic to believer along the way; cloud-based development is the future. github.blog/2021-08-11-githu…

Real question: who is paying (money) for all of these Trump election lawsuits? I have a feeling the answer is all of us via tax dollars but not sure how that works… – at Broomfield, CO
REALLY not loving Face ID when out at stores with a mask on lol… Thinking of going back to an iPhone SE for Touch ID – at Broomfield, CO

Somehow the government can produce a virtually unlimited amount of bombs for every possible situation but everyone has to make their own mask out of a t-shirt

Made myself a quarantine coffee this morning. It's just like a normal coffee except that it has a bloody mary in it and also no coffee.

All other things being equal, avoid "strategic" investors. What that word "strategic" means is that they have ulterior motives that are unlikely to be aligned with yours.

Never ever ever buy a car from @Carvana. I canceled my purchase with them because they are incompetent and they have been holding my original trade-in hostage now for two weeks in an out-of-state warehouse.

Ruby 2.6.2 is a solid upgrade over Ruby 2.5! Highly recommend, slightly better ruby heap usage than 2.5, 2-4% improvement in our median page view, ~3% less CPU usage for Discourse. "standard14 = 2.6.2, standard_14a = 2.5.5". Same machine, same workload, different containers.

Long time @pivotaltracker user. Made the jump to @clubhouse last week and so far I’m loving it. Anyone else made the jump or have any advice? – at Broomfield, CO

Assuming this all works out, the image in this tweet is also a valid ZIP archive, containing a multipart RAR archive, containing the complete works of Shakespeare. This technique also survives twitter's thumbnailer :P
