“Azure Devops is much better. If you use azure and managed devops pool ? The integration feels like a decade over github. Service connections are awesome to provide scoped Access to a managed identity.”
“To be clear you can do the exact same, using the UV docker image, in a workflow on GitHub Actions so feel using that as an example is a slightly disingenuous.”
“That's interesting, I've always found GitLab CI to be much worse than GitHub Actions. In particular, the lack of decoupling between workflows makes it impossible to add a job that should run entirely independently of any other job without adding a bunch of ignore rules.”
“I actually deployed a couple days ago something with a docket build and kubernetes jobs and could not figure out how to add the k8 runners to Github actions. How do you do it?”
“\> GitLab CI has its niceties, but its composition model isn’t in the same league as GHA. Components are ultimately compile-time config composition, while GHA gives you independently versioned actions, composite actions, and nestable reusable workflows with inputs and outputs.”
“The entire docs for GitHub is long and insane due to the needless complexity of using Actions. The most minimal CI definitions I could come up with for both are as follows”
“GitHub actions turn to shit the second you start to have multiple repositories or multiple deployments or anything beyond simple straightforward tasks.”
“GitHub actions are the antithesis of clunky, bloated, and overcomplicated. They are extremely extensible and exceptionally simple to learn and use - especially compared to the dumpster fire that is Junkins.”
“Just make sure all your ci does is run scripts that devs can execute locally as well. So long as that works, GitHub actions is fine and your AI harness can test everything before push”
“I would be far more impressed if someone did a clean room implementation of all of GitHub Copilot, from scratch, and got to a better point than the TypeScript or port codebase.I have no doubt that if you provide any AI system with an oracle with expected behavior that it can match that oracle with some amount of $ and tokens.”
“Anecdotally, you will get more mileage out of a Claude or ChatGPT plan than with a GitHub Copilot plan.If you're worried about costs, you might try using subagents with a cheaper model or an open model like Kimi/GLM and use Claude/Codex as the orchestrator.”
“GitHub wanted something that could be embedded into applications written in C#, Java, Go, Python, Rust, TypeScript, etc. Once that becomes the requirement, Rust starts making a lot of sense because it naturally produces a native library with a very boring C ABI.”
“GitHub recently migrated the Copilot Runtime from TypeScript/Node.js to Rust, citing factors such as memory footprint, startup performance, concurrency, and the ability to embed the runtime through a C ABI.”
“At the company I work at the developers all have a GitHub Copilot subscription. Copilot allows them to use several models, including Claude. From the usage I can actually see that Claude Sonnet and Opus are the most commonly used models.”
“The only benefit from my perspective to the copilot studio GitHub harness is the connectors so at my organization which is a very large Enterprise the email connectors the teams connectors all work within co-pilot studio.”
“I think the main issue I have with the Github Copilot Harness is that it's ridiculously slow with zero actual optimization or agentic capability happening here, oh yeah, and you're billing at token level rates.”
“All AI products on market are in beta testing phase. With security as last thing they think abot as is common with all beta products. This include Github Copilot.”
“Official support is practically non-existent, you have to wait a day for logging/insights to update, and AI policies can easily be passed by one of the myriad of GitHub Copilot Chat extensions”
“In my personal experience, GitHub Copilot is pretty weak. Maybe it's just that I've used smaller models on it, but it just felt like the worst available harness, even behind Google Antigravity's.Is there any redeeming quality to it nowadays?”
“Github personal access tokens are security footguns. This is an apparently old and forgotten image containing a token from 2023 and it the token gets you admin acces to their repos.”
“I’m starting to work with the new GitHub Copilot harness in Copilot Studio, and I’m trying to understand how people are handling conversation inactivity in real-world/production scenarios.”
