Walked 2 groups through GitHub Copilot Agent features in Visual Studio Code to show what the future of coding might look like. With that we contributed about 100 people to this World Record. And had a lot of fun while doing it. #AISkillsFest

This is a great example of medical bias in action.. What makes our anxiety distinct is the context that we experience it within, as that context isn’t shared with NTs it doesn’t fit the ‘named’ anxiety conditions. Seems they need to name more anxiety conditions, rather than blame ‘autism’.

Playing around with MCP in @vscode.dev and one of the things that struck me is the usage of .env files to store tokens. The guidance from @enthropic.bsky.social is to at least make this "secure" by adding the .env file to your .gitignore file, but I'd rather not do that either.

Last week I had the privilege to attend the #mvpsummit on the Microsoft Campus in Redmond. A 10-year anniversary for me (12 if you count my 2 private invitations the years before). It's always great meeting friends, sharing stories over dinner and enjoying beers with friends.
