Definitely an odd choice. Especially when two images later has it again

Definitely excited about the workspace git collocation added in this release. So many workarounds can just be removed now.

I still don't see the appeal of Auto Mode. If I don't trust the model to run arbitrary commands, how much additional trust can be gained by an additional non-deterministic system. The point is that there are some failure modes which are completely unacceptable. Auto Mode lowers that risk but doesn't remove it. An unacceptable failure is still possible.

Are there any plans to sandbox the agents? I suspect it would be fairly trivial on macOS using sandbox-exec. This looks very useful but I hesitate to run yolo mode agents (even with clear instructions) on my machine.

I have been impressed with Ente products and customer service. It's good to see they are growing. That said, revenue information is not entirely helpful in a vacuum. I'd be more keen on seeing profit (even at a lower timeline resolution). What's the average cost for taking on a new customer? What's the retention/turnover? Etc. That said the products are great and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Not sure if you're referring here to Windows or Microsoft as a company. Could fit either /S

> They already did

Yes, but they don't and won't too (at least until they do again)

What's bad is that it's so much better than it used to be and still this bad.

I really enjoyed and agree with the majority of the article, but this was my nit as well. My hatred of vacation planning is often the reason I don't go on more vacations. It seems like automating a task that is experienced by the individual as completely monotonous ( and only affects that individual) would be a great example of something worth handing off to a text generator.

I read though the GitHub readme but I'm still unsure what "new" this brings this brings to the table. It seems like a thin wrapper over existing tools. Since Microsoft rarely deprecates and removes anything, this feels like just another unnecessary complexity layer.

I'm not a traditional app dev on Windows though, so I'm likely missing something. For those of you who are more familiar, what about this are you excited about?

This is awesome! I can't believe I've not heard of it before. Thanks for sharing!

This is how WinGet works. It has a small SQLite db it downloads from a hosted url. The DB contains some minimal metadata and a url path to access the full metadata. This way WinGet only has to make API calls for packages it's actually interacting with. As a package manager, it has plenty of problems still, but it's a simple, elegant solution for the git as a DB issue.
