Using the GitHub Copilot CLI, I built a little sys tray tool for keeping my VS Code extensions up to date at all times.

Took a total of 3 hours.

It should work outside Azure.

No alpine available.

But yes, should work outsize Azure too.

#MSIgnite

Thanks mate!

A #Java guy at the #MicrosoftIgnite conference? Yeap.... That's me.

Demoing #Azure #Copilot migration agent and the #GitHub Copilot app modernization to 20,000 people in person plus 200,000 online viewers.

No risk. Full push!

It depends! Where does this person live?!

The future of online gaming is game streaming. Millions of GPUs already in data centers. Latency between players is near zero. Matchmaking will be based on data center connectivity.

A slide titled “Visual Studio Code – October Update [1.106]” with three columns of feature highlights. Agent HQ: Agent Sessions view as mission control for agent tasks, OpenAI Codex integration, built-in planning agent, custom agents and handoffs, inlined terminal panels in chat. Security & Trust: Open sourcing inline suggestions, tool pre- and post-approval, expanded MCP auth support, control MCP server access with custom MCP registries, Linux device policy support. Great coding experience: Copy text from deleted lines in diff editor, VS Code product icon refresh, Terminal IntelliSense GA, compare source control branches and tags.

Announcing Agent HQ in VS Code: a unified agent experience directly in the editor.

Java relevance in the AI era - agent frameworks emerge. I recently appeared as a guest on the Context Window podcast hosted by IBM’s Anant Jhingran and Ed Anuff. It inspired a couple of posts. This one is about skills relevance – namely Java and agents. Ed...

"#Java has maintained relevance through all of the waves that we’ve seen over the last couple of decades – it is the exemplar of a general purpose programming language and runtime."

Trip to Brazil ending, and now at the airport.

Just saw someone with Microsoft Word opened, writing a document word by word, letter by letter, without using AI.... Like a sociopath.

Today at Microsoft Brasil 🇧🇷 we welcomed a great set of customers who are heavily engaged in developer productivity.

So, of course we talked GitHub Copilot. Also, a Commodore! Reminded me of @scott.hanselman.com's TED Talk.

That's the intent, yes.

GitHub - brunoborges/jdx Contribute to brunoborges/jdx development by creating an account on GitHub.

I started a thing (with Copilot).

It is called jdx, a command-line tool that helps you manage your JDKs. No, it won't install/remove/etc, that's up to you however you want.

But it will help you activate a JDK globally and locally, by using Maven/Gradle features. github.com/brunoborges/...

Everything is fine...
