New vocabulary I'm noticing the AI agents use when thinking through things: 'pedagogical' "...or find a better pedagogical approach altogether" It's like 'word of the day' from one of those old tear off calendars 😅

Yep it's great I have it turned on and configured for all my Angular projects. Really guides output well for modernization, greenfield, and general refactoring

Just published a new post on AI Slop, human in the loop, and the tension between “good enough” AI output and sound engineering judgment. AI is accelerating software engineering fast, but responsibility for trustworthy output is still ours. www.allenconway.net/2026/03/ai-s...

So AI chat still needs work. I spoke to the #delta AI chat asst. for changing a flight. I said, "I need to change just my flight from Atlanta to Vegas." It respond, "Mental health issues are taken seriously and we cannot help. If you're thinking about hurting yourself, hang up and call 911" Click. 😅

I use GitHub Copilot all the time and train clients on it so I'm a proponent and every day it still amazes me. I just prompted it to refactor square peg round hole API calls that were very different, schema/code/logic changes, probably 6ish hours of work and GHCP did it in 3 mins 😁 #githubcopilot

Looking forward to speaking at VSLive! Microsoft HQ!

Hey that's awesome! Yeah some tips for prompting, additional detail on exactly what you need is really helpful. Being too broad or abstract tends to lead to inaccurate results. Narrow in the context to relevant files for updating code or used as reference ('gold standard code') and that should help!

As a lifelong Steelers and Ohio State fan, I can't tell you how happy I am with this draft! Also we didn't overdraft the players, they were in the correct spots. Hoping for an awesome season!

Anders addressed this by porting TypeScript to a smiliar language as opposed to a full rewrite (among other reasons too). This allows it to ship later this year rather than taking years and years to rewrite in another language that wasn't as seamless for conversation.

Had the pleasure of meeting Anders Hejlsberg at the MVP Summit - shaking his hand and personally thanking him for his incredible contributions to so many languages I love and use in my career. Excited for what he has ahead with tsgo! #MVPBuzz #MVPSummit #TypeScript #dotnet #csharp
