Gh cli is one of the most powerful tools you can give a coding agent imo

gh is insanely powerful, especially if you let your coding agent use it. It’s one of my top tools. Gh lets you use GitHub features such as issues, pull request, reading CI pipelines, creating CI pipelines, etc. git is just for code version control.

The site layout is superb and the podcasts sound great. Biggest question I have is why?

Enterprise is Copilot Cowork one of the frontier agents. Has to be enabled by your organization I believe

stride.microsoft.com -> microsoft has this stuff you just don’t know it unless you are an M365 power user

stride.microsoft.com -> this is a virtual machine instance with developer tools that allow for same sort of work Claude cowork does. Copilot in excel has to access the excel document through excel provided APIs and can’t completely redo the document like cowork does everytime running developer scripts to generate it because the document instance is open. The model of work is entirely different.

stride.microsoft.com is the cowork equivalent I believe.

The executive branch executes laws (prosecutes crime) under its own interpretation of the law. It's the supreme court that determines if that interpretation is acceptable or fair. I.e. you could be prosecuted under an executive's interpretation of an existing law when the crime was committed and if the court deems it acceptable you could be found guilty by a jury. (In the USA)

Exploring with AI doesn’t lead to the same level of learning. They are doing the equivalent of paying to skip the level up of their character and going to the final boss with level 1 armor

I understand but there still is usually 80-95% of the skill flow that you can script out that is repeated. Script it out and simplify your skill, make it more stable, and provide more opportunity to scale it up or down i.e use stronger or weaker models if need be. We should be scripting and forming process first then seeing where we can put AI after that.

This. So many junior engineers showing me AI flows that could just be a script with a few parameter inputs

What makes this a robot? Feel like the classical term “robot” over “bot” implies some sort of locomotion or at least actuation

I think the worse thing is when someone takes a clearly defined list of steps to do something and writes it as a skill rather than just having AI write it as a script. It’s like people have forgot what scripting is

But that's part of a great solution... it sounds like you might have had a good technical solution, but that's only half the solution in enterprise. If your technical solution requires another team to completely retool, its not a great solution overall.

That's a generalized statement. Smart pointers can stabilize things, if used wrongly they can cause just as many issues. Sprinkling in smart pointers such that there is now mixed use with smart and raw pointers can cause double frees, and huge maintenance issues. So, creating a single PR to introduce smart pointers in my opinion is not necessarily "stability". He should have created an architecture plan and got upstream and downstream aligned.

I feel like emailing the CEO in this case is just a no-op, the inbox is gatekeeped by his staff and very unlikely he saw your email.

That said, “inbox always open” means you should come with a problem AND a very well detailed solution. But question becomes if you had a detailed solution that was good, why wasn’t it ran up the org chart with buy in and why did it have to skip to the top.

But doesn’t this experience contradict what OP is saying in a way. If azure is always breaking wouldn’t that imply that changes like “adding smart pointers” are being introduced into the codebase?

Its not super fancy, but I have found it useful from small emails to larger design docs so thought I would share.
