Finally, after few years I've updated my profile photo 😅

“Go 1.26 is released” by Carlos Amedee, on behalf of the Go team — https://go.dev/blog/go1.26

#golang

Awesome news! Thanks! 🚀

So far I prefer VS Code as I've tried Claude Code (through VS Code and Copilot 😅) and Copilot CLI - options unrelated to the IDE seems to be faster.

I mean, Claude Code or Codex have different architecture and they are faster, but it's also related to Copilot CLI.

What are your thoughts?

Copilot via VS Code or Copilot CLI? What's your choice? #copilot #vscode

I'm a co-author if the really nice repository to work with #ai using #copilot at #vscode for teams. It's like spec-driven development with human-in-the-loop at the each step. My favourite approach when working on the huge, enterprise projects.

Open question for everyone using #bsky - do you still use #x X ( #twitter Twitter) or you don't anymore?

I currently use only BSky but not sure if I should re-post everything there to maximise reach. Actually I don't like the policy of X so I didn't do that. 🤔

What's your opinion?

To be honest what I can observe is that when I migrate from pure MD-like approach to XML-like in .md files you can actually use less text to describe something.

The structure of a #prompt is self-explanatory for modern #llm models. 🚀

XML-like approach might be a little bit context-heavy. But hey, results are so much better with such structured approach. No matter if you work with #copilot in #vscode, #llm in general or apps like #heyalice - it works great.

Recently I've been experimenting a lot 👨‍💻 with different ways of creating customisations for Copilot, HeyAlice app, and interactions with LLMs in general (system prompts, prompts).

The final conclusion 🎯 is - XML-like tags are 💯 clear winner.
#copilot #vscode #context #anthropic #openai #ai

Opus 4.6 from #anthropic is really good at #copilot and #vscode. I've been testing it since the launch. 🚀

Now I'm waiting for the GPT-5.3-Codex from #openai, I'm really curious how they will compare. 🤔

That's nice!

I've found myself writing such instruction on my own more times than I would expect. I just experiment a lot with different ideas recently.

Here's the link to this #project #repository : github.com/ikcode-dev/c...

Working on the next things related with such jump-start prompts. 🚀

Stay tuned!

If you are into #copilot and #vscode, you might not know that I work on my copilot-kit repository. It's just been updated with really nice prompt to generate single custom instruction, works nicely for both greenfield and legacy apps.

What a fortnight it has been. A lot of stuff is happening when it comes to "work", a lot is happening when it comes to my YouTube and further experimenting with different #copilot and #vscode features.

So much happened:
- GPT-5.2 Preview available in GH Copilot 🔥
- v1.107 of VS Code 🚀

Another thing that greatly improves my outcomes are #okr OKRs. I've almost finished John Doerr's "Measure What Matters" - it's brilliant. OKRs are wonderful.

I work on #ikcode brand together with my wife (thank you!), and we started to utilise #okr to stay more focused and what really matters. ⚡💪

More deliverables are going to improve and enhance my future productions for my #youtube channel #ikcode. 🔥

New topics related to #vscode and #copilot are coming soon.

Busy half of the Sunday is almost done! 👨‍💻🚀

As usual I was working on some new ideas and improvements to my workflow with #vscode and #copilot.

The first public deliverable is the new #backendengineer agent for #copilot:
- github.com/ikcode-dev/c...

Until the end of 5 December Opus 4.5 will be at a promotional price in #copilot #vscode #agentmode - 1 premium request. After that price will change - 3 premium requests.

If you want to know more definitely watch the video from the first message in this thread. 🔥

Claude Opus 4.5 is HERE in GitHub Copilot Agent Mode – Massive Upgrade for Devs! YouTube video by IKcode Igor Wnek

Yesterday we've posted new video covering #vscode #copilot and the new model we can FINALLY use in the #agentmode - Claude Opus 4.5 #claudeopus

Previously Opus models were available only in the ask mode - not that useful, at least to me. So it's kinda revolutionary update! 🚀

I've recorded new video where I share few of my prompts that I use every day in #vscode #copilot as a #seniordev / #principaldev

Definitely worth to take a look if you are into #copilot:

Many, very interesting topics coming up so stay tuned. 🚀

Nice! Thanks ❤️

Claude Opus 4.5 is in public preview for GitHub Copilot - GitHub Changelog Claude Opus 4.5, Anthropic’s latest model, is now rolling out in GitHub Copilot. In early testing, Claude Opus 4.5 surpassed internal coding benchmarks while cutting token usage in half, making…

Remember to try this out in the #vscode and #copilot! 🚀

Ha! I'm amazed how well Claude Opus 4.5 works in #vscode #copilot. 🤩 Remember to try it out because there is a promo right now - Claude Opus 4.5 costs only 1 premium request in #copilot.

What is better, for few days Opus 4.5 is finally available in the #copilot #agentmode - fantastic news! ❤️

Of course I have more initiatives, in them you can group "projects", and then tasks. I must admit this is really nice.

Probably the best part of the #linear is how they pursue good #ux and overall #productivity for users. I love all the keyboard shortcuts - makes things really faster.

Some of my core "initiatives" I use in my Linear.

I have so many different ideas. 🧠

Before I used #linear to handle all my important #projects, I often ended with working on something one day, to drop the idea completely the next day. Then I started working on the next idea, which I quickly abandoned again.

Now I can #focus and DELIVER. 🚀

Finally, as #softwareengineer I updated my "private" #macbook pro M1 to the MacOS 26 Tahoe. I was scared a little bit, but zero problems so far.

What I must admit is that #apple is really good into UI/UX, I love the change and feeling of the new OS version.

Also, I found the "phone" app useful 🚀

Finally, I plan to really boost and develop this repository. After some testing of another #codingagents and #codeeditors I know that I'm going to stay with #vscode and #copilot for quite some time.

Beside of that I always feel deep ♥️ for #zed, so sometimes I'm going to use it too. 😅

Hello Team! Long time no... write?

If you are into #copilot and #vscode - I added new prompts to my repository - github.com/ikcode-dev/c...

I use them at day-to-day job to improve code quality and they work great. Feel free to test them out!

Let me know what you think. 🤔

Today I started to test/use "Insiders" version of the #vscode with #copilot. There are some nice new features I'd like to check. 🚀
