In the @GitHub Copilot app, you can now /ask to ask the agent a question while it's working. No need to wait for it to finish.
It’s Friday night and I’m watching the VS Code documentary. Yeah, I’m old. But I’m happy. I hope you are too 🙂
Have you seen the new full length Visual Studio @code documentary? It was a crazy time!

The GitHub Copilot app now supports Azure DevOps!
You can now view your work - including assigned issues and PRs - and kick off sessions directly from those artifacts.
Grab it from new Customize tab in the app :)

Amazon Prime costs $139/year.
Most members use 2 features: free shipping and Prime Video.
That's a $139 subscription doing the job of a $5.99 delivery fee.
J.P. Morgan estimates the actual value of Prime benefits at approximately $1,430/year more
than 10x the membership cost. But most of that value sits unclaimed behind tabs, menus,
and pages 200 million members have never opened.
And 4 of those benefits expire monthly. If you don't claim them by the end of the month,
they're gone. Amazon resets the clock. You paid for them. You lost them.
Amazon is counting on you not knowing.
Here are the 12 Prime benefits most members have never activated including the 4 that
vanish every 30 days 🧵

MICROSOFT OPEN-SOURCED A GOVERNANCE LAYER FOR YOUR AI AGENTS
and it's exactly what agentic ai has been missing
here's what agent governance toolkit does:
▫️ intercepts every tool call in deterministic code before it hits the wire denied actions aren't unlikely, they're structurally impossible
▫️ yaml policy engine lets you allow, deny, or require human approval per action
▫️ zero-trust identity via spiffe/did/mtls no more 5 agents sharing one api key
▫️ 4-level execution sandbox with privilege rings so agents can't escape their scope
▫️ tamper-evident merkle audit logs for compliance and incident response
▫️ covers all 10/10 owasp agentic top 10 risks
▫️ works with langchain, crewai, autogen, openai agents sdk, semantic kernel, and more
one pip install...any framework...python, typescript, go, rust, .net all supported
because "please follow the rules" in a system prompt is not a guardrail...it's a suggestion

Amazon Ring died on May 22, 2026.
It just doesn't know yet.
One dad in Nashville, Tennessee built a free MIT-licensed app that watches your driveway, your porch, your baby monitor, your garage.
No cloud. No subscription. No cop ever gets the footage.
32,057 stars. 3,103 forks. Pushed today.
Here is the wildest part:
You: "How much is Ring Protect Pro?"
Ring: "$19.99 a month. $199.99 a year. Per house."
You: "How much is Google Home Premium Advanced?"
Google: "$20 a month. $200 a year. Per house."
You: "What do I get?"
Both: "We store your footage in our cloud. Ring already paid the FTC $5.8 million in 2023 for letting employees and contractors watch your videos without your consent. Google just raised Nest prices again in 2025."
You: "What does Frigate cost?"
Blake Blackshear: "Nothing. It runs on the Raspberry Pi already on your shelf. The footage never leaves your house. I have a day job."
Ring sells the camera. Then sells your fear back to you, monthly, forever.
Frigate sells nothing. Because Blake isn't selling.
He's a dad with 1,267 followers who got tired of Amazon owning his front door.
100% Opensource.
100% Local.
100% Yours.
The smart camera industry made one bad assumption.
That you'd keep paying rent on a camera you already bought.
That assumption just died in Nashville.

VS Code was already used by millions of developers for agentic coding. However, the editor layout has traditionally been optimized for single-task and single-workspace workflows.
Today, we're introducing a new window to enable our users (and ourselves!) to work with multiple agents across multiple projects: Agents.
Now available in VS Code stable!

‼️🚨 Microsoft calls this "intended behaviour," so here we go.
How to dump the credentials of every user stored in Microsoft Edge:
1. Open Edge. Don't browse anywhere, just open it.
2. Flip to Task Manager, find Edge, expand the task.
3. Highlight the "browser" sub-task, right-click, and choose "Create Memory Dump."
4. Open the dump file and look for credentials.
The logged-in Windows user can dump every stored Edge credential with no additional rights. Which means any malware that user executes has those credentials for the asking.

Remember the old Visual Studio Macros?
They’re back! Now fully modernized with real C# scripts (full IntelliSense!), record & replay, and the entire VS extensibility model behind them.
Automate anything in VS… and literally anything else C# can do. 🚀

[New blog post] Packaging GitHub Copilot Agents and Skills with Agent Package Manager
If you are building GitHub Copilot agents and skills across multiple repositories, creating them is usually the easy part. Keeping them consistent across teams and repos is where things start to get messy.📦
In this post, I look at how Agent Package Manager gives you a cleaner way to package and share GitHub Copilot agents, skills, and supporting MCP configuration without relying on copy-and-paste across .github folders. ⚡

Copilot CLI just got a nice QoL improvement: you can export your session timeline with "/share html" as a self-contained HTML file with built-in search and filtering. I’ve found this especially useful for visualizing what happened during a session and debugging agent workflows.
