Weekend hobby project energy: give Autopilot the goal, let Fleet orchestrate the long haul, return later to see what your tiny side project has become.
GPT-5.5 is 60% off for Copilot Max and 40% off for Pro+ this weekend.

- We just published a deep dive on improving token efficiency in GitHub Copilot within VS Code. The headline isn't "use fewer tokens." It's "send better context."
- Practical guide for debugging AI agents in @code with OpenTelemetry. Shows how to go from "agent feels slow" to seeing exact token counts, model latency, and finish reasons per turn. The @aspiredotdev dashboard runs locally in Docker, no accounts needed.
- Claiming my contribution of finding a breaking issue for /remote 10min before I was meant to demo it during VS Code's office hours. Didn't fix it, but issues are a great way to start contributing to OSS. Keep reporting well-written bugs for any issues you see!
- Hooks are the most underused AI coding customization. Gate file writes on lint ✓ Inject env context ✓ Block destructive ops ✓ @burkeholland walks through them to make them accessible (and VS Code's customization tools make them debuggable) 👇
