The Wall Street Journal ran a piece yesterday on JustPaid, a 9-person Mountain View startup. They used OpenClaw and Claude Code to stand up seven AI agents that write code, review it, and run QA around the clock. In one month: 10 major features shipped. Each one would have taken a human engineer a month or more. This story is getting passed around as proof that the autonomous engineering team is h
Last Tuesday I lost about three hours to a regression in our checkout service. The cart total was off by a cent on certain promo combinations, and the only signal was a Slack ping from finance with a screenshot. No stack trace. No exception. Just wrong numbers. I did what I always do first. I opened the diff for the last deploy, scrolled, squinted, and tried to feel my way to the bug. Forty minute
I Built a VS Code Extension to Bring IntelliJ’s “Show History for Selection” Experience If you come from IntelliJ, you probably miss one super useful feature in VS Code: Show history for selected lines. I built a new extension to solve exactly that. Show History for Selected Code This extension helps you inspect Git history for a specific code selection, not just the whole file. Shows commit h
I went into a bunch of OpenClaw discussions expecting the usual advice about subagents: better prompts, cleaner folders, maybe some heroic config. What I found was more interesting. The OpenClaw setups that actually seem to hold up are not just "one agent with more prompts." They are separate services with separate trust zones. The pattern that keeps showing up looks like this: a librarian agent a
E aí, gurizada! De uns tempos pra cá, eu percebi um burburinho enorme em torno de uma ferramenta que tem chamado a atenção, e não é por menos: o OpenClaw. Eu, que vivo mergulhado nesse universo de IA e automação, gravei um vídeo recentemente, que está lá no meu canal, assista no YouTube, justamente pra desmistificar essa parada. E hoje, vim aqui no Dev.to pra gente conversar um pouco mais sobre o
Microsoft's 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' Tag: Unpacking the Strategic Play for AI Dominance in VS Code The persistent insertion of 'Co-Authored-by: Copilot' into commit messages within VS Code—often irrespective of GitHub Copilot's active contribution to specific changes—is far from a benign engineering detail. It represents a calculated, multi-faceted strategic maneuver by Microsoft, signaling a pr
I have a bad habit of jumping between projects. It's not a big deal. But it happens every single day. So I built rewind. rewind That's it. No setup, no IDE, no agent loop burning through tokens. Just one binary, one command, one LLM call. cargo install git-rewind GitHub: https://github.com/Chronos778/git-rewind Would love feedback — on the idea, the UX, anything. Still early days.
If you use GitHub's merge queue and had a rough week around April 23rd, 2026, you were not imagining things. Your code actually disappeared. Not because of a bad commit, not because of a rogue team member, but because GitHub itself quietly deleted it. This is the story of what happened, why it was way worse than the official numbers suggest, and what it means for the way we all trust the tools we
