    It's on their roadmap: https://github.blog/news-insights/product-news/github-copilo... But they aren't moving nearly as fast as OpenAI. And it remains to be seen if first mover wil…

    Having used the latest models regularly, it does feel like we're at diminishing returns in terms of raw performance from GenAI / LLMs. ...but now it'll be exciting to let them bake…

    The "iPhone moment" gets used a lot, but maybe it's more analogous to the early internet: we have the basics, but we're still learning what we can do with this new protocol and bui…
