DEV Community: Emanuele Bartolesi

My Windows 11 laptop sometimes struggled while I was working with Claude and Codex or GitHub Copilot.

My move to European digital services includes Proton, Qwant, and DeepL.

For two days, my company laptop kept showing this error: Your organization has deleted this device.

There is a pattern I keep seeing with customer environments.

In Part 1, you ran GitHub Copilot CLI against a local model using LM Studio.

Local AI is getting attention for one simple reason: control.

Most GitHub Copilot setups are too polite to be useful.

During a Git migration, the new platform is rarely switched on overnight.

Update, August 2026: The original VS Code configuration is no longer enough in some setups.

I use GitFlow even for my side projects.

I love VS Code.

VS Code tasks are powerful, but most developers barely use them.

Finding the ideal IDE for .NET work is rarely a straightforward journey.

Since few months my primary laptop is a Microsoft Laptop 6 (you can see my entire setup on my website https://www.emanuelebartolesi.com/uses).
