Mad respect for the @code team who are actively listening to feedback about Copilot. 100% clear they care a whole lot about their product. This is what it takes to build something great. If you are a @code user and you want to improve Copilot, check out this thread.

Have you tried VS Code again lately? If so and you still feel this way, tell me what we can change. We love feedback and we’re moving quicker than ever before.

Being a developer has never been about how fast we can type code. No, being a developer has always been about our ideas. The code is simply what represents them on the computer. This will never change. My remarks from @WeAreDevs 2025: linkedin.com/pulse/agents-s…

Copilot raised the PR. Copilot reviewed the PR raised by Copilot. This is no longer a co-pilot. It’s flying the whole damn plane 🤯 @ashtom @Copilot

I want every 8-year-old who learns Python in school to know: you are a developer. AI is not here to eliminate your dreams, it’s here to scale them. You belong in the community. And you will have a place in the future of programming. 💫 youtube.com/watch?v=L4nAzy…

Coding isn’t dead – it’s reborn. So the way we teach is changing accordingly. Or, as @UW professor Magda Balazinska puts it: “We have never graduated coders. We have always graduated software engineers.” ✨ geekwire.com/2025/coding-is…

ashtom's tweet card. The University of Washington's Allen School is rethinking how to train the next generation of software engineers in an AI-dominated job market.
