GitHub Agentic Workflows look great unless you absolutely need a Windows or macOS runner. It's hard to build an AI software factory for a Windows desktop app from a headless Linux runner. I had to switch to a regular GitHub Actions workflow that calls Copilot CLI 🤷

If you have an Android phone and receive a lot of spam calls, I highly recommend you install PrefixBlocker (prefixblocker.com/). It works locally with simple prefix-based rules. I only use the phone for local calls anyway, and I just cut 80% of unsolicited calls so far

How many times has PHP been rewritten in Rust in the past 24 hours?

Is there something similar to GitHub Actions runners, but with quick suspend/resume, and more suitable for agentic workflows? I want to create an environment that matches the lifetime of an agent session that can go idle, and resume state when resuming the session

Replying to @metulev
@metulev I'm trying to use the winappcli plugin in GitHub Copilot app with Windows Sandbox - enabling Windows Sandbox is a bit difficult or confusing, but once I got it running, I'm hitting problems with file sharing permissions with the sandbox. There's an unreleased fix?

I worked around the permission issue for now - the next issue is that Windows Sandbox is a clean environment, uncustomized, so it takes quite a while for the agent to figure out what to do with a first-run launch of RDM to test a feature. Is there a way to customize sandbox?

We're starting to see some agentic Rust forks (or alternative implementations) focused on iteration speed. More-so than the specific projects, I'm interested in the ideas being explored (and how they could evolve upstream), so wanted to collate a few here...

What are your thoughts on Gemini 4 Argon? I've been using it for a day in GitHub Copilot, and it looks decent

Anybody else feels like a side effect of AI is less desire for collaboration? The cost of waiting for pull requests to be merged upstream is so high when compared to writing your own thing from scratch. It's like people don't even bother looking for existing libraries anymore

It's so annoying that the GitHub Copilot app can only rename a branch for a session *once* - why is that?

I've been experimenting with PSObject binary encodings to replace CLIXML - CBOR and Protobuf are both great candidates, with significantly smaller size, but also much faster encoding and decoding performance! Which one would you like to be supported natively in PowerShell?

JSON or BSON are excluded, as they can't preserve 100% of PowerShell object properties the same way CLIXML would. I've tested the CBOR and Protobuf encodings to make sure all edge cases survive an encoding round trip

Someone ported VLC 3’s UI to Avalonia on Windows, macOS, and Linux in just 16 working days (290 commits). Absolute madness. 🤯 Got an Avalonia Port Challenge entry of your own? You have until this Friday, Oct 23 at 23:59 UTC! Reminder: The write-up is scored, so don’t forget to document what broke along the way.

Elevated permissions prompts are a massive problem for agents. What's the general wisdom here on how to handle that without just completely turning off UAC or the Windows Firewall?

It's time to drop support for Windows PowerShell, and move to PowerShell 7. Yes, even if it doesn't yet ship in-box with Windows Server. Just install it by default - you can still use WinRM, no need to switch to SSH. .NET Framework is *ancient* and lacks a decade of improvements
