Great! Now @visualstudio.com won't generate code commit comments! Anyone else experiencing this?

Attention Software Engineering Conferences: You know what would really liven up the attendee party? A stand-up comedy set by software engineers. Just an idea 😆 #SDD #dotnetday_ch #NDC #DevDays

#Copilot Chat: All work is done, tested, and building successfully. Ready to commit & push? Me: You made a lot of mistakes implementing this plan. I'm going to have to manually review all changes. Copilot is a Jr. Developer just out of school! 🥵 #VisualStudio

I'm dropping a new article on dotNetTips.com on Sunday! Register now, for free, on the site to be notified. Let's rock your code! #MVPBuzz #dotnet #RockYourCode

#Germany is the #2 country hitting dotNetTips.com today! 🇩🇪 I’d love to bring Rock Your Code to Germany. I’ve submitted sessions to .NET Developer Conference—now help make it happen. Contact them and tell them you want dotNetDave on stage. Let’s röck your code!

Conferences like Øredev in Sweden really know how to make things fun. They somehow got introverted engineers to dance in public. That’s not event planning. That’s sorcery. 💃🕺👨‍💻 #Ordev #Sweden @oredev.org

I'm very proud of being in the Microsoft MVP program for 20 years! A lot has changed since I received my first award! 😀 mvp.microsoft.com/en-US/mvp/pr... #MVPBuzz @mvpaward.bsky.social

Software engineers: when you use AI tools like GitHub Copilot to help write code, do you type your prompts or dictate them? I’m curious how many devs are using voice now. Reply with: ⌨️ Type 🎙️ Dictate 🔀 Both 🚫 I don’t use AI for coding #AI #Copilot

💡 Did you know I’ve been breaking down hundreds of Microsoft .NET Code Analysis settings with real-world, in-depth explanations? Before heading to Microsoft Learn, check out my articles — they might save you time (and confusion). Always open to feedback! 👇 bit.ly/DotNetTipsCo... #dotNet #MVPBuzz

Building Organized and Maintainable Code with Classes Change: Classes are the backbone of .NET applications, enabling developers to create organized, modular, and maintainable code that adheres to OOP principles. #dotnet #MVPBuzz #RockYourCode

@visualstudio.com #Copilot woke up on the wrong side of the server this morning. At this point, it doesn’t need a prompt. It needs espresso and supervision. ☕😜

I *love* the new Copilot Chat feature in Visual Studio: while an Agent is working, switching focus away from VS sends you back to the history window and wipes out what you were doing. 🥵 More “improvements” like this, please! #Copilot #VisualStudio

It’s National Clean Your Keyboard Day! 🧼✨ Take a moment to clear out dust and grime—your fingers (and anyone sharing your keyboard) will thank you! 💻🙌 #CleanYourKeyboardDay

Today is Quarterly Update Your Resume Day! Keep your résumé current—you never know when the right opportunity will appear. Review recent accomplishments, add new skills, and refresh your impact. Then check job openings to see what employers are looking for right now. @tdesseyn.bsky.social

Here is gif of the issue. Let me know if you if you need more info.

Great, now #Copilot in @visualstudio.com does not understand what "the selected method" is!!!! Bring back targeting a method using '#'!!!😣

Attention, .NET engineers: I’m already working on the 6th edition of my code-performance book, planned for release at the end of 2027. Want an early look? Paid dotNetTips.com subscribers get access to new articles as I write them. It costs less per month than a cup of coffee. Subscribe today!

Outlook apparently wakes up every morning and decides my calendar view is just a suggestion. I set it the way I want it. It resets anyway. Every. Single. Day. Beyond frustrating. Do better, Office team—assuming there’s still one left. #UX101

.NET engineers, check this out! I just added a new Spargine Dev Tool feature that shows the status of your Git repositories. It is coming soon—and if you download the tool now, it will update automatically when released! dotnettips.com/2023/02/24/s... #dotnet #MVPBuzz

I'd like to 'keep' teaching the world to code! 😀 #MVPBuzz #coding #teaching #RockYourCode

TGIF Software Engineers! I told my code to be more modular. Now it's acting like a rockstar, won't collaborate unless there's a clean contract and proper boundaries. 🤣 #GeekHumor

PowerPoint can animate text, spin images, and add sound effects—but printable speaker notes still look like they were designed in 1997. ChatGPT got me closer. Microsoft, please bring Office UX into this century. dotnettips.com/2025/07/02/u...

Have you tried Alexa Shopping on Amazon? Finding what you want is impressively fast. Actually scrolling the results in Edge, though? The scrollbar plays hide-and-seek, and when it does appear, it is so thin it feels like a UX test designed by elves. #Amazon #Alexa #UX101

Riddle me this, Copilot: why should I spend time writing a detailed `copilot-instructions` file when you treat it like the Terms of Service—something to confidently ignore without reading? #Copilot @visualstudio.com

If Microsoft Copilot is going to keep charging developers through tokens — and I really hope they don’t — then we need a visible countdown in Visual Studio and GitHub. How else are we supposed to know when to conserve instead of suddenly getting locked out? @visualstudio.com #GitHub #Copilot

Calling all software engineers! 👩‍💻👨‍💻 I’ve created a huge collection of programming images and memes for developers who need a laugh between builds, bugs, and bad requirements. Here’s one example — many more are here: mccarterphotography.smugmug.com/Graphic-Arts... #SoftwareEngineering #MVPBuzz
