I've been running Copilot with my own OpenAI key for a while now, maybe more than a month. Daily usage with mostly GPT 5.4-mini (medium reasoning).

Of the 10$ I charged my profile with, I still have 5 left. 5.4-mini is cheap af as you may already know.

Today I got access to a Business account with 300 premium requests and immediately started using 5.4-mini. Well, I've already burned through 15% of the premium requests in a day.

Doesn't that translate to an overall better spending management with token-based billing? I understand MS may charge slightly more than going straight through OpenAI, but still I'd expect more mileage.

Thoughts?

Hey folks, I have the possibility to get enrolled into the Business plan right now at 19$/month. However, I'm not sure if I should wait June or not. Will the Business/Enterprise cost be changed, or will it be a transparent change on my side (only visible to the Enterprise that pays for the plan, in terms of usage limits)?

A bit of background first: I'm currently leading the development of client-facing products (e.g., browser-based UIs, IDE plugins). We develop solutions on top of what server-side teams build, but we also develop independently to ensure that our customers enjoy the best client UX that is reasonably obtainable.

The independent approach, despite its definition, is still influenced by architectural decisions taken by other teams. I typically meet with others to discuss what's going on and what are the next steps, and I'm definitely one of those folks that answers with "no" more than "yes", especially when dealing with teams that want to "own" as much as possible without a real reason or advantage for customer experience.

I took a month off after years of working non-stop pretty much, and coincidentally I see many architecture-related meetings going on while I'm away. I do have another person that can join discussions, but not a person that has the full understanding of involved technologies and what a decision may mean for our team on the long run.

Maybe I'm overthinking, but I've been bitten by not accurately vetting every third-party decision in the past...

Wondering how other architects/leads handle long time off. Do you just say "f* it" and then eventually spend energy unscrewing the situation?

I'm not an LSP user as I develop in IntelliJ, but I have colleagues that don't want to pay yet another subscription or simply don't want to switch between VS Code (web dev) and IntelliJ (Kotlin).

So I'm just wondering, what's the LSP status right now? Is any of you using it daily without noticing any critical issue?

I recall reading somewhere, probably under a YouTube video, the idea of using Code With Me (which is now deprecated unfortunately) as a mean for AI agents or for simple AI-powered file editing to appear as virtual pair programmers.

You'd be able to follow edits, and why not interact with the process live. Doesn't sound like a bad idea to be honest.

There have been quite a lot of discussions around TS performance in the past.

I just wanted to check with others how it's been going lately.

Personally, with 2026.1+, I haven't encountered any perf issue both in pure TS 5.x projects and in Angular projects.

Although I still see a couple of issues:

- Angular still requires restarting the TS Server from time to time to restore proper highlighting.

- TS quickdoc presentation has slightly changed since 2025.3 (I believe) and icons for some declarations are not precise anymore.
