Wondering what I'm doing at Microsoft? I've joined the @azureadvocates Developer Relations team here in Australia. If you run a community, startup or are a student looking for support, reach out 😁

I'm constantly finding blank open browser windows, and apps I don't recall opening, but then remember that between Playwright and Computer Vision, it's probably just stuff that my agents didn't bother to close

Still relying on one-shot prompts? 👀 Catch Episode 1 of #AIGenius Season 6 with @slace and explore visual orchestration, context engineering and token optimisation for smarter AI workflows. Watch on demand: msft.it/6010a016r #MSAIGenius #AgenticAI #MSDevAsia

Yep, this session is very much the long living one 😆

This week: go beyond chat and start architecting AI agent workflows. Explore GitHub Canvas, context engineering, token consumption, MCP integrations + custom Copilot plugins with Microsoft Reactor. Save your spot: msft.it/6013aq0C9 #AIGenius #GitHub #AI

As traffic grew exponentially, we moved 99.99999% of GitHub's Git repos to Azure. A new write path moves the last, busiest repos, keeps cross-region round trips from capping throughput, and enables stateless Azure Blob Storage replicas.

UMMMMMM Did someone say canvas support in @code?!??! GLORIOUS! Copilot app, CLI, and now code! code.visualstudio.com/update…

We're going live!

Tonight (well, tonight Sydney time!) I'm going to be doing an off-the-cuff session about how I use GitHub Copilot, things I'm building with it, and tips on how to make the best use of it. 🕧 6pm ADST 🔗 meetup.com/coding-night-anz/…

Meet Agent Buddy! 🤖 A desk buddy for your AI coding agents. It shows when GitHub Copilot, Claude, Codex, Grok and others are working, need you, or are done. Run it on an ESP32 device, or use the new desktop app. No device needed! Website: getagentbuddy.com Repo: github.com/DanWahlin/agent-b… Special thanks to @darrenjrobinson and @bradygaster for their PRs!

What should we improve in the GitHub Copilot app?

HELP ME (please RT) Q: You are a developer. You use @sqlserver. Do you prefer @visualstudio or @code for real-world dev? 🙏

The busiest single repo on GitHub saw roughly a billion requests in ONE MONTH. Today, we shared how we’re rebuilding GitHub’s storage layer (without changing how you use GitHub) decoupling compute & storage so reads and writes scale independently. Quicker pushes, pulls, and a platform that stays fast as more agents and developers code. We’re designing against some of the largest workloads on the platform so there’s headroom for everyone. More below on how this works and excited to show you more at @GitHub Universe. 👇

Hot on the heels of @aspiredotdev releasing 13.6.0, we've shipped support in the Community Toolkit - github.com/CommunityToolkit/…
