The GitHub $20 sub goes a LOOONG way to security review your code. I use it for all my app SaaS code reviews. It's so much more value that GitHub Copilot code review tokens (which is basically non-existent). Plus it's a lot more than what you get with other tools like CodeRa…

I’ve been using Microsoft’s Agent Package Manager (APM) to manage them from a single manifest. Here’s how I set it up 👇 https://t.co/H6QyK1nf5A

That same day, I had to fix some bugs in an application I was building, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to give GitHub Copilot a try. At first, I us…

I started using AI heavily while coding about 2 years ago. At first, I used ChatGPT, then GitHub copilot tabbing, and then switched to cursor about a year ago. And I am not…

I built a panic button that doesn’t tell me anything, and somehow, that project just earned me my first hackathon win. First win. $100 prize. A winner badge. But honestly, the validation means just as much. We…

GitHub Copilot doing the magic - me just orchestrating power bi creation ... create new measures, add them to the matrix on the new tab, format...all of my prompting, while GitHub Copilot creates in the background all the complex stuff, which I used to painfully do not long ago.…

Mostly telling it what I want, checking the result and asking for changes. Getting a bit spoiled honestly :) or maybe just lucky https://t.co/RSbWKn18vt

3 likes · 0 reposts · 1 repliesView on X ↗Github Copilot was one the first IDE embedded AI coding tools I used. It's basically autocomplete on steroids: it predicts what you may want to type and you just press tab to accept the suggestion. Then came tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex. I've been using those heavily e…

The Pro plan gave enough messages that I never really had to think about usage, even when using Sonnet 4.6 for larger projects. Recently they switched to an AI credits model,…
