Copilot CLI PM here: I'm super proud of our team's velocity and vision as we took this from our admittedly bare-bones initial public preview back in September to what I believe is an industry-leading agentic harness.
Hey! I'm a PM on the Copilot CLI team. This sounds like a bug, we should follow the same premium request scheme as the VSCode extension! If you still have the session logs kicking around, can you email them to me? It's my hn username @github.com
The Copilot CLI team has been making great strides towards improving our agentic harness! I'm curious, what have you found are the biggest shortcomings with it these days?
Give Copilot CLI a try if you haven't in a while! The team's been working really hard to improve the harness, and we're taking as much community feedback as we can get! Let me know if you run into any problems :)
Maybe someone will finally build my dream: a WSL distro that I can also dual-boot natively. I'd love to switch between bare-metal Windows with WSL and bare-metal Linux with virtualized Windows at my leisure!
Parallels on Mac did this in reverse a decade ago. You could dual boot windows and MacOS, or you could boot into your windows OS while running MacOS and access both file systems properly.

I definitely intend on playing around with this later! I see that [gzipped log archives aren't supported](https://dmitryfrank.com/projects/nerdlog/article#depends_on_...), minimizing the use case for me personally. You've at least thought enough about that to bring it up as a limitation you think people will call attention to -- any plans to eventually support it?
Yeah it would be great, and I do want to support it, especially if the demand is popular. In fact, even if you ungzip them manually, as of today nerdlog doesn't support more than 2 files in a logstream, which needs to be fixed first.
Specifically about supporting gzipped logs though, the UX I'm thinking about is like this: if the requested time range goes beyond the earliest available ungzipped file, then warn the user that we'll have to ungzip the next file (that warning can be turned off in options though, but by default I don't want to just ungzip it silently, because it can consume a signficant amount of disk space). So if the user agrees, nerdlog ungzips it and places somewhere under tmp. It'll never delete it manually though, relying on the regular OS means of cleaning up /tmp, and will keep using it as long as it's available.
I feel ashamed to admit this in public, but...me too. The barrier to entry is so much lower than therapy, I feel less anxiety about explaining my situation correctly, and I can quickly start over with a "new therapist" whenever I want.
Is it a replacement? No, of course not. But boy if it isn't a big help.
The only issue is that it needs a good user. Just as you can work your way into good insights, you can work yourself into bad insights just as easily. Sometimes chatgpt doesn't challenge you enough unless you ask it to under specific frameworks or paradigms. It is definitely a useful tool though.
Edit: These are all problems with real therapy too though, on further reflection. It took some time to find the therapist that works well with you. That can be a form of similar bias.
I find myself being exceptionally careful when asking questions. ChatGPT is known to lean sycophantic - biased toward agreement. And rather than asking, "Is this ...?" or "Am I ...?", I'm careful to choose prompts like, "Evaluate, or analyze...".
My hope is that this results in less sycophantic responses, but overall it's a difficult thing to measure.
