Let me guess: some ElectronJS crap instead of a native UI?

#62Who would have thought that git worktree is the technology of the year 2026?
I still don't understand how people use git worktrees with Docker. You need a full database and etc. For me it's simpler to have multiple checkouts.
Re: GitHub Copilot App
#63It is nice. But! The reason these tools exist is not because of non-professional developers, but quite the opposite. A lot more professionals are now working on more projects simultaneously- something that was not practical just a year ago. Though, while this is nice, considering that all of the action is happening on the same device, I am worried this is going to increase supply chain risks. Before, a developer woul…
If I'm interpreting this correctly, GitHub will use their existing actions infrastructure to run versions of the code in isolated worktrees. I think this could be a very beneficial process.
What I've done on my end is created a project where I have a remote Linux workstation. I can create multiple worktrees for each repo in that workstation, and then my agent can push PRs to GitHub and use the actions infrastructure to see if the integration tests that it writes for itself are successful without needing to run those integration tests on the local environment. It's expensive in terms of runner hours, but the automaticity of it is incredible.

#64Looks good, but after pricing change I have already used 26% this month with very light usage. Last month I used Copilot heavily, much much more than I usually do, but did not manage to use more than 58%.
1 day and 26% of usage? wildly inflated!

I use Conductor's spotlight (and a Pi extension I derived from it) but it's not perfect. Once a migration executes, I'm pretty much bound to it but at least once, I have just backed up the database before switching and then restored that.

#66Windows App, Copilot, GitHub Copilot…
I predict next “Windows Copilot App” (not to be confused with any of the others), Microsoft’s AI that controls your computer (like OpenAI Operator and Claude Computer)
Re: GitHub Copilot App
#67That looks pretty close in shape to the early Ace project Maggie Appleton demonstrated last month. Edit: This short talk – https://maggieappleton.com/zero-alignment
ace appears to be an experiment to make a multi-user experience on top of the codex UI.
the copilot app looks more like just a straight clone of the codex UI (and the new antigravity UI, which is also a straight clone of the codex UI)

Forced me to switch to OpenCode Go (not Zen), which isn't quite as nice as Copilot Chat deeply integrated into VSCode / Intelli but the models (DeepSeek v4 Pro, GLM 5.1, & Qwen 3.7 Max) are able replacements for Claude Sonnet 4.x / GPT 5.x while being way cheaper (especially DeepSeek).
Re: GitHub Copilot App
#69How is this different than the separate Agents app shipping with VS Code? Other than fewer features.
One rips off codex and the other rips off cursor?
Only half joking.

How small are people’s projects if they find worktrees useful? I use them for hobby stuff, but $DAYJOB is a different story because of testing
I tried them a while back and they were more annoying than anything. The only real use-case I have for them is stashing long-running changes that are not ready to be committed... but really probably should be anyways.
