I’ve been obsessed recently with cari.institute so I vibecoded a little quiz for finding _your_ aesthetic ✨ you’re essentially binary search ranking all 90 aesthetics. tylerleonhardt.github.io/aesthetic-rank… Here’s mine… I think it tracks 😁
My top aesthetics: 1. Vector minimalism, 2. Ultramodern revival, 3. Austurbane. Not my vibe: curly girly, neon ooze, sportsbrut

I’m in Minneapolis for the holidays ❄️ I love the series of skyways over roads that connect two buildings. It’s a really cool way to get around town without having to go outside (feels like -1 F rn). There’s even a website to help navigate! skyway.run

I mean honestly, how can this not make me smile ❤️ #accessibility
A GitHub comment that says “Visual Studio Code devs are always positive towards the a11y issues, and their deep understandings of ARIA are, just awesome. I can't work and live independently without Vscode. Not an overstatement, really. Very much appreciated this fix!
Please feel free to close this issue as resolved, whenever appropriate.”

I’m doing this big migration that needed me to create over 40 PRs in an Azure Repo… when my script finally finished creating all of them, Azure DevOps kindly sent me over 400 emails from builds that were auto-triggered from opening the PRs lol Why is it so chatty?

I’m personally most excited about Copilot’s Free tier now is that it pairs soo well with Copilot extensibility. I can write a really cool AI-powered @vscode.dev extension in TypeScript and not have to pay a dime… but also my users don’t have to either. code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot...

Wild to me that I’m in an industry that talks about AGI… but if I want a copy of my birth certificate with the city name on it I have to send a photocopy of my ID & a check for $15 by mail to Jacksonville.

Copilot Edits has helped me a ton with building a few of my smaller websites. I include the entire site as context and it makes changes across all files. Ex. My improv group website lol: dollbrick.com Honestly, wouldn't have started these projects without Copilot making it easy it iterate.

Of course @peet.io’s first (or one of the first?) #PowerShell scripts he’s writing is some multi-threaded script with named pipe handling 😅 Handling ctrl+c to kill a script while also handling a named pipe stream in the background is a bit far away from a “hello world” 😂

Haven't seen anyone talking about it yet, but some of the VS Code and VS Code ecosystem folks have started to quietly come onto Bluesky! Made a starter pack to gather them all in one place –– let me know if I've missed anyone go.bsky.app/9XU5UL7
