Github Copilot in Visual Studio 2026 is such a mess!!
It just can't run edit operation on larger file. It always miss the edit context and apply the edit in the wrong place.
Tip: Figure out your personal ceiling for running multiple agents in parallel.
We need to accept that more agents running doesn't mean more of _you_ available. The narrative is still mostly about throughput and parallelism, but almost nobody's talking about what it actually costs the human in the loop.
You're holding multiple problem contexts in your head at once, making judgment calls continuously, and absorbing the anxiety of not knowing what any one agent might be quietly getting wrong.
That's a new kind of cognitive labor we don't have good language for yet.
I've started treating long agentic sessions the way I'd treat deep focus work: time-boxed and tighter scopes per agent dramatically change how much mental overhead each thread carries.
Finding your personal ceiling with these tools is itself a skill and most of us are going to learn it the hard way before we learn it intentionally.
It used to be universal truth that it was absolutely not worth spending time and effort building software that was not your core competency
With building being cheap, rebuilding internal tools is actually easier and also fun + builds the AI muscle
But maintaining still remains a pain that is devs have historically been wonderful at underestimating.
Cannot wait for teams that build their custom JIRA/Workday replacement/custom CRM to one day turn around and ask:
“Why do we have so much internal software that is buggy / has poor UX + we need to maitain?”
Seen this movie well before AI, when Uber built uChat (custom Slack)
While everyone's talking about Claude Code Max $200/month subscriptions, there's GitHub Copilot Pro+ which only costs $39/month with *1500 premium requests included*. I swear what I'm doing with it costs a *LOT* more than $39 after burning $120 in 24 hours with Cursor
@championswimmer Tbh, both the Pro and Pro+ plans are a steal. Esp the Pro+ which offers 1500 premium requests, along with 375 spark credits as well. One could use the free models to refine their prompts to ready a spec in plan mode and have premium models implement it in agent.
Message steering and queueing just landed in today's @code stable release.
Other notable features in the release: agent hooks, Claude compatibility, and skills as slash commands. See them demoed live on Let It Cook tomorrow: https://t.co/Ee317Yl328

your nervous system goes into fight or flight when you rush. when you push yourself to always produce. and act like everything is urgent. move slower through your tasks. slow down your breathing. you’ll get more done when your body isn’t in a state of panic.
