Great talk on Claude Code @The_Whole_Daisy at NDC Copenhagen! I really liked the "try to do your entire job in the terminal for a day" advice!

[Daniel Ward - daninacan @danielwarddev]

I'm off to Denmark to speak at @NDC_Conferences Copenhagen about how and why to use the @github Copilot SDK! As a bonus, you'll also get some snazzy C# demos thrown in. #dotnet

I'm excited to see another new place and grateful for the opportunity!

@mcbeev @housecor @caiobchi +1 to Astro!

Blogged: 10 cool things you can do with GitHub Copilot CLI

Been using the @github Copilot CLI more lately and enjoying it quite a bit. I even included the brand spankin new /chronicle cost-tips and /rubber-duck commands just because I like yall that much

@UnityCodeMonkey A single 50 thousand line Game.cs

Think of all the code duplication you prevent!

[Daniel Ward - daninacan @danielwarddev]

@DevLeaderCa My stack nowadays is:

- xunit
- nsubstitute
- awesomeassertions
- autofixture
- testcontainers + respawn for db-related tests
- playwright for e2e if needed
- xunit.combinatorial if I need it for more paramtetized cases
- stryker for mutation tests when I have the time

I'm probably VERY late to this... Was looking into a multi-terminal option on Windows, and found Windows Terminal just has that out of the box already, along with managing the panes with keyboard.

Mind blown. Kudos Windows Terminal team!

Just started using /research a week or so ago in Copilot CLI and it's been fantastic so far

@Derly_dev What's your strategy for having lots of entities with pathfinding collisions etc in the scene at once?

[Daniel Ward - daninacan @danielwarddev]

@Derly_dev wow I love sausage character

[Daniel Ward - daninacan @danielwarddev]

@krzyzanowskim Just curious as someone interested and barely getting started with pi, why is that? Faster? Better outputs?

[Daniel Ward - daninacan @danielwarddev]

@plainionist I'm interested - I've definitely been on teams before where we went to prod 10+ times/wk and we paired/mobbed on every ticket. In those cases, the PR became a massive bottleneck for us. If the goal is just to have more than 1 pair of eyes on it I feel like we fulfilled that

[Daniel Ward - daninacan @danielwarddev]

@KenneyNL @youtooz Well gosh darn it I've been using that exact fella to prototype a platformer idea lately. Guess I have to get it now

[Daniel Ward - daninacan @danielwarddev]

I know we need code review, but does it have to be a separate phase?

[Daniel Ward - daninacan @danielwarddev]

@burkeholland @github It's also available in the Copilot SDK! I used it when vibe coding a Blazor app to help with brainstorming. It creates a mind map from a prompt and each node is actually a forked Copilot session so it keeps the context

I'm happy to start another year as a @PulumiCorp Puluminary! I always love and appreciate the swag!

Also, bonus points for having some of the coolest shipping boxes I've seen.

[Daniel Ward - daninacan @danielwarddev]

@dexhorthy @mattpocockuk When people asked us if they are giving too much/not enough context etc I explained it with this https://t.co/beflKCx6wx

[Daniel Ward - daninacan @danielwarddev]

I'll be speaking at @DoDAustin again this year! This is actually one of my favorite conferences, and I highly recommend going if you can!

My talk will be How to Get Started With Automated Testing In the Age of AI.
