My annual 5k run happened this past weekend, and I came in at the fastest time yet: 29:34. I felt less prepared this year than in years past, but a week before the race I asked ChatGPT for a plan. It guided me through what days I should run and what days I should rest, […]
Experimenting with GitHub Copilot Agent Mode to build a macOS App.
GitHub Copilot’s Agent Mode is pretty amazing. I’ve used it before to build web apps with Next.js and Python, but this time I wanted to try something different—so I asked it to create a native macOS application.
