🔥 I’ve been using Visual Studio since it first launched — every version, every evolution, every feature that’s shaped how we build software. It’s been more than just an IDE; it’s been part of my developer journey from the very beginning. Now, a new chapter is here. I sat down with Mads Kristensen to dive into the upcoming Visual Studio Insiders release — and trust me, the features coming will change the way we code. 👉 Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/eZnJTuG6 If you’ve ever opened Visual Studio, this is one you don’t want to miss. #VisualStudio #Developers #YouTube #Innovation #MVPBuzz

🥷 We all have to start somewhere - especially when reversing binaries. In this short we look at identifying main in binaries compiled in Visual Studio, helping to avoid getting lost in runtime code 🎯 https://lnkd.in/g5u_7ncG

Visual Studio Insiders is here -https://lnkd.in/gBzxMzws. Feels a lot snippier and modern. Switching from "Preview" Release mode to "Insider" mode is going to be a new experience for Visual Studio users - have to get used to it. The daily updating insider mode is available on VS Code - which has its own plus and minus.

Microsoft added bring-your-own-model support to Copilot Chat in Visual Studio and made the Model Context Protocol generally available in the IDE, expanding model choice and enabling governed connections to internal tools and data. https://lnkd.in/eTK_JJP9 #MicrosoftCopilot #ModelContextProtocol #DeveloperTools

📢Model Context Protocol (MCP) is Now Generally Available in Visual Studio MCP lets Copilot connect to your tools, databases, and APIs with ease. Think of it like HTTP for AI workflows. What’s new: ➡️ Full MCP client integration with .mcp.json config ➡️ First-class authentication for secure endpoints ➡️ One-click server installs from the web ➡️ Enterprise governance via GitHub policy controls 🌐 More details: https://lnkd.in/gSgzPWg2 #VisualStudio #Copilot #MCP #Productivity

Faster responses, fewer rate limits, and 10% off premium requests. We are launching auto, now available in Visual Studio Code! Auto picks the right model for the job in GitHub Copilot, chosen automatically based on capacity and performance. Great products these days are rarely powered by a single model. They rely on a system of models working together, each playing to its strengths. With auto, we are bringing that ensemble approach directly to customers.    Over time, auto will get smarter. It will dynamically scale between small and large models based on task complexity, and fold model selection into the development loop itself. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gTHA-ZsR
