Now the size is good. Just the spacing feels a bit weird
Yes exactly for the buttons. On mobile browser.
I think you should change the date format for the post's publication date (it's not needed to have the exact time with seconds). On the landing page some buttons don't have the same size and separation space. Other than that it looks nice.
Started using GitHub Copilot to update Azure DevOps work items — not for laziness, but for flow.

When I’m deep in design, I stay in my IDE. Copilot + MCP Server = context, updates, no tab-switching.

What felt like a gimmick is now part of my daily dev stack. Not perfect, but powerful.
Just announced and already in GitHub Copilot in preview. Hello
Claude Haiku 4.5.

Smaller model but supposed to be almost as good as bigger ones to code. Looks fast and cost one-third of Claude Sonnet 4.5. Interesting model to test.

#GitHubCopilot #Anthropic
Brainstorming with GitHub Copilot CLI and the relevant MCP Server (in this context Microsoft Docs MCP) can be very useful. Generating code is far from being the only usage of using AI in IT.

Here is mine. I did not configure anything special for ls, that's just how nushell works.
You don't realize how great .NET Core is until you find yourself having to work with .NET Framework again.

I have no doubt that you can do great things with the .NET Framework, but .NET Core makes your life easier and encourages you to do things right.

@den.dev a GitHub Spec Kit question for you 👉 is constitution file a good place to tell AI to use specific MCP servers for some tasks. I have trouble sometimes to know if things should go in the constitution or be asked in the /plan.

💬 Unpopular opinion: most CLIs should have an option to output command results as JSON (or other structured format). It would make things so easy to query (using Nushell, PowerShell, jq, etc).

🔧 Some CLIs do, azure cli for instance, but many don't bother.

When you start doing something in your terminal

And you decide it's time to "quickly" add proper completions to your shell

But your shell needs an update, so you do it

The update breaks your config, so you fix it

...

Carapace now provides me nice completions!
What did I wanted to do again?

I love this new #GitHubCopilot update for JetBrains IDEs.
Next Edit Suggestion was something I had been waiting for for a long time.
I'm writing more and more of "How to" notes.
Current one: How to customize your shell prompt?
