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 😁

Saw the signage yesterday for @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social ‘s show tonight in Seattle! HYPED for tonight! 🙌
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

Version 1.97 of VS Code is out now with Copilot Next Edit Suggestions, Python no-config debugging, SVG image preview, and more! Full release notes: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_97 Here are some of the highlights… 🧵
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?
Now everyone can just use Copilot in VS Code for free 😊 Extension authors should check out our chat API which lets you add cool AI features to your extension! code.visualstudio.com/api/extensio...

Announcing GitHub Copilot Free! A new free tier for GitHub Copilot, available for everyone today in VS Code. No trial. No subscription. No credit card required. Learn more in our blog: aka.ms/copilot-free
🤏🔄 @lszomoru.bsky.social prototyped Quick Input drag & drop last month and now we've got it in @vscode.dev Insiders! Let me know what you think! code.visualstudio.com/insiders/
Look what’s coming to @vscode.dev! Thanks @tylerleonhardt.dev for showing this! This is 🔥, always wanted to put it in the middle of the screen.
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...

This year was a big travel year for me and it was amazing - I am truly so lucky and privileged to be able to do so. These trips were really special: 💒 Reconnecting with family & friends 💭 Daydreaming about living in ___ 🥘 Food & experiences What will 2025 have in store 🤔
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.

Yesterday was World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims… so a quick, extremely fresh, story Last Thurs, my friend was hit by a car walking home at around 5pm causing a concussion and fractured vertebrae. Doctors say she will recover… in time, but… 1/🧵 #WDoR2024
