Spawning child sessions in different projects that coordinate with the parent is by far the most powerful feature in the GitHub Copilot app. I tried doing similar workflows in Claude Code but it is just too limited on this front

I made ChatGPT/Codex plugins that wrap Copilot CLI, so you can now review changes using any of the models available in GitHub Copilot! Just follow instructions in the repository: github.com/awakecoding/...

Why is it that Windows is consistently slower than Linux at building software *for* Windows? I've got real numbers from CI builds of RDM Windows (.NET) on Windows and Linux runners as proof: Windows has a 1.33x median penalty. It's not a one-off, I re-ran the benchmarks 5 times

I added simple terminal-based attachment to daemon-backed ironrdp-agent sessions, making it much easier to switch between background and foreground usage of the same RDP sessions. Performance isn't great and it'll always remain limited, but it works!

It's so annoying how Windows makes it so hard to have a single executable that works well in both GUI and console modes

Argh. Claude Code for Windows has exactly the same problem I had gotten fixed in the GitHub Copilot app: making the mistake of loading only the system-level PATH while forgetting the user-level PATH. None of the tools installed in user context, especially MSIX packages, work 👇

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 27/09/2026

I hate to admit, but I find Claude Code's CI integration much simpler to use and reliable than the GitHub Copilot app agent merge feature. It makes CI and PR state visible where you prompt while remaining compact. With GitHub Copilot, it just says it "checked" instead

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 25/09/2026

Does anyone know if it's possible in Claude Code to see queued "chips" or "suggested tasks" after the pop up dialog is dismissed? It seems shortsighted to have such a feature require that you take action *now* for follow-up tasks that would normally be done later

I have a very large agent skill, and "gh skill install awakecoding/openspecs windows-protocols" takes forever, and even hits GitHub API rate limits. Is there a better way to distribute agent skills for faster downloads and stability with the GitHub CLI?

The nice thing about having your own Devolutions Terminal is you can add the features you always wanted in Windows Terminal. Here's gsudo integration for launching any profile elevated using shift+click. No need to launch a second terminal elevated, you can have it all in one place!

Since when does the Settings app limit editing environment variable values to 2047 characters? My user PATH already has a lot more than that, so it's clearly a UI-level limitation

This is bad on so many levels, but it works. We shouldn't have to use Windows PowerShell compatibility from PowerShell 7 when it comes to the DISM cmdlets

It crashed like 3 times already, so I brought it back to IT. Those Dell Pro Max 16 Plus models are really unstable, we have other people in the office with recurring crashes, and they're not even for the same root causes

The GitHub Copilot app now has an improved auto mode, but I still wish I could control which models can be used in the automatic selection, and filter out entire providers based on the git repository of the project

I asked GitHub Copilot to "draw something simple but impressive" in paint over RDP using ironrdp-agent, and here's what it did. I'm not sure where this came from, but it certainly is impressive!

GPT-6 Astra in the GitHub Copilot app really doesn't work well with inter-session communication, all the sessions where I have tried it somehow get stuck, with messages from child sessions getting queued and never processed in the parent session

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 06/09/2026

What's the best way to automatically orchestrate using GPT-6 Astra in the GitHub Copilot app while delegating all execution to a much cheaper model? I feel like I'm doing it wrong by being too explicit on the how:

GLM 5.3 Max feels faster and better than Kimi K3. I really love it, and I'm just sad that GLM models aren't available in GitHub Copilot directly (I use it through a BYOK provider)

It feels okay if the first tab isn't selected, but it feels a bit off to me when the first tab is selected. the buttons on the left don't feel blended in. It's just a feeling, nothing rational

the ilc.rsp file is 94KB, way too big to fit in a post here. I could send it by email if you'd like to take a closer look at it. I'm not surprised at the size, the .rsp file for csc.exe is like 900KB. We have a lot of source files and dependencies

The sizoscope GUI can load the file, but freezes the moment I expand anything to see details. I'm using the sizoscope CLI for now through GitHub Copilot to figure out more.

100

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 26/08/2026

I let Copilot run on its own for a while, because it takes forever. I installed the sizoscope GUI and CLI. sizoscope requires a build producing mstat/dgml diagnostics, so it takes even longer than usual. The debug build made my system go out of memory, I saw ilc.exe take 32GB+ of RAM

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 25/08/2026

.NET NativeAOT build times are out of this world, and not in a good way. Rust build times are nothing compared to that

I just went through the menus in "advanced mode", it doesn't look like there's an option for that. I'll sacrifice more cores than I'd like for now I guess
