Fun with Github Copilot licenses. If you have a personal plan, it'll be cancelled once you are added to an org. That org will then supersede your settings, on any repo, meaning you cannot use features on your own repos if you org doesn't allow it. Takes 3 days to de-licenese...

I'm currently looking for a new job after a round of layoffs. Would appreciate and suggestions/referrals

I’m sure some engineers at Spotify spent a lot effort on audio normalisation, but when swifties want to kill a feature, it’s done. Would love to see the stats on how many devices turned it off for 1989 #TaylorSwift1989
