Blogged: How to use Azure models in GitHub Copilot CLI and VS Code

I've been successfully playing around with using @Azure Foundry models with @GitHubCopilot BYOK mode lately (including a CLI status line script showing Azure spend), so thought I'd share!

I'll be giving a 30-45-minute presentation this Wednesday on how I use @GitHubCopilot after coaching teams on it for a little over a year. It'll be both some specific technical features and general patterns of how I like to use it.

Come check it out! https://t.co/u8xgzUyyXY

I'm both happy and thankful to go another year as a Microsoft MVP! I love being in .NET land, anyway, so contributing to the program with blog posts, talks, and local events is something I enjoy doing and plan to keep doing! #mvpbuzz
