Fans are running loud on my laptop as I give my AI agents all the VMs they need to perform live testing of complex RDP features like session redirection in an RD Gateway farm. This would have taken forever to test by hand

Are you building an AI software factory? How is it going so far? I'd like to hear your thoughts

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

Blogged: An introduction to Compact Binary Object Notation (CBOR) in .NET andrewlock.net/an-introducti… In this post I introduce CBOR as a JSON alternative, and show how to use the System.Formats.Cbor NuGet package to read and write CBOR encoded data #dotnet #aspnetcore

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
