I understand that GitHub Copilot is now much more expensive than Claude Code or Codex, but what if you had unlimited access? GitHub Copilot has access to multiple models, which is a strong advantage. It also has powerful features not easily found in alternatives: bsky.app/profile/awak...

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

Yes, this is my taskbar, and I can use as much as I need in any one of them

If you had unlimited access to GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, which one would be your favorite?

Is the GitHub Copilot server-side BYOK finally stable? I had given up on it a few months ago, as it was unable to server models that would show up with the right model parameters client-side. I'm interested in adding Baseten as an inference provider for everyone with GLM 5.3

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/...

I'm a Microsoft MVP and I use Windows daily, but my biggest wish is that Microsoft makes it easier to cross-compile *to* Windows. Why would the OS used to build Windows software matter, especially in CI, if it leads to the elimination of this 1.33x Windows penalty that's real?

010

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 29/09/2026

I've heard various theories, but nothing "scientific": disk I/O, the cost of case insensitive filesystems, overhead of launching processes, you name it. At the end of the day, if you build exactly the same software targeting Windows from both Windows and Linux runners, Linux wins

100

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 29/09/2026

Microsoft doesn't seem to be doing much cross-compilation internally, so they'd be myopic to the problem. It's something I've observed over the past decade that I came to accept as a fact: in a CI matrix build job, Windows builds always finish last behind macOS and Linux.

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 29/09/2026

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 made Claude Code plugins that wrap Copilot CLI so you can easily launch reviews using any of the models supported by GitHub Copilot. It doesn't matter how good the latest Anthropic models are, different models catch different things: github.com/awakecoding/...

Yes it's sixel, but I could look into supporting kitty and the other ones. It's only meant to be good enough

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

I added rubber duck reviews to Claude Code using Copilot CLI 👀 I can now review changes using any of the supported models from GitHub Copilot, straight from Claude Code!

010

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

I'm thinking of creating custom subagents in Claude Code that wrap Copilot CLI, enabling usage of non-Anthropic models for reviewing changes. The holy grail would be /rubber-duck that almost looks and feels the same as in GitHub Copilot app, using Copilot CLI under the hood

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

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 👇

Claude Code shows the current *state*, while Agent Merge in GitHub Copilot shows what you *allow* the agent to do, and you need to click on the PR link to see more. Claude Code uses flashing bubbles when CI is in progress, and shows current state based on what you enabled

110

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

What are the best Rust SDKs for local AI that can use models distributed from Huggingface, works on Windows and Linux, and would be suitable to extract searchable data from a video file? It needs to run OCR models locally at a bare minimum

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

What are the best agent skills package manager CLIs today? skills.sh is installed through npx, which makes it harder to deploy enterprise-wide. "gh skills" is interesting, but too GitHub-oriented, and I'm hitting performance issues for large agent skills.

000

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

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?

Will .NET 12 have all the crypto required for a native .NET SSH client that doesn't need a third-party crypto library? That would be awesome 😎

I know, that's the reason that's been given to me for not doing in Windows Terminal. Usability wins in the end, it's the same as having a remote terminal open to another machine: if someone can run code as your user, they can suddenly inject commands into a remote machine as well

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 24/09/2026

The bottleneck here is actually trying things out manually, where you ask the AI agent to guide you step-by-step, without running the commands for you. That's when you realize it's just way too complicated for a human being to use the CLI the AI built even if it works

020

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 24/09/2026

Building CLIs usable by humans is difficult with AI because it is so good at working around tons of manual, painful steps that have zero usability

GPT-5.6 was good but a bit on the expensive side to use as a default daily driver. GPT-6 dropped pricing by 50% and increased efficiency, so I am super happy. I want more of that

Nice, I'll use this to test Devolutions Terminal. I just tried it and it doesn't work out of the box so I'll get on fixing that

The UAC prompt is not visible in the recording, but you have the UAC prompt for every new profile launched elevated through gsudo

Marc-André Moreau @awakecoding.com · 23/09/2026

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

We designed the new menu in PowerShell Universal to be more extensible and we'll be releasing user-driven customization in an upcoming version. You'll be able to customize the grouping, order, icon and text for menu items. In the future, we're considering admin-provided menu configurations.
