TL;DR You can integrate Azure DevOps with GitHub to get the best of both worlds in Power Platform development. ADO stays as the backbone: work items, sprint planning, test plans, and deploy pipelines all remain on Azure DevOps. Code moves to GitHub: Power App Code Apps or Power Pages SPA live in GitHub repos, unlocking native GitHub Copilot integration and the Copilot Cloud Agent. The two platfo
What if your Kubernetes cluster simply refused to run unsigned images? I spent some time experimenting with enforcing image provenance in a small Kubernetes setup using MicroK8s. The idea was simple: Only container images with valid cryptographic signatures are allowed to run in the cluster. For this I used: GitLab CI/CD (build + signing pipeline) Cosign / Sigstore (image signing) Kyverno (admissi
TL;DR. golang.org/x/net/idna.Lookup.ToASCII runs UTS-46 NFKC mapping 0-9. A pre-IDNA net.ParseIP check rejects the NO_PROXY lists, TLS-SNI routers, and cookie-domain validators that TrimRight + ParseAddr golang.org/x/net/http/httpproxy, the canonical safe pattern, and two I ran into this one while writing a Go HTTP client for a private project.

Most teams I have worked with have one auth test in their suite. It looks like this: test('valid token verifies', () => { const token = signSync({ sub: 'user-1', aud: 'api://backend' }, secret); const result = verify(token, options); expect(result.valid).toBe(true); }); That test is fine. It is also a smoke test, not a regression suite. It catches the case where verification is completely b
The on-call alert at 02:14 said auth_5xx_rate spiked from 0.01 to 31.4. Not a deploy window. Not a traffic spike. Just thirty-one percent of authenticated requests failing for ~four minutes, then back to baseline. The cause was a JWKS rotation on the issuer side. New keys came in. Old keys went out. Caches in our service didn't refresh fast enough. Tokens signed with the new key were rejected beca
GitHub Copilot just got a lot more complicated — and not in a good way. If you tried to sign up for Copilot Pro recently and hit a wall, that's not a bug. GitHub quietly paused new sign-ups for Copilot Pro, Pro+, and Student plans starting in late April 2026. No end date announced. No workaround offered. Just a message and a door that won't open. That alone would be worth covering. But they made t
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
What if your code editor could do keyword research, audit your SEO, and optimize your content for AI search engines — without leaving VS Code? I built a set of open-source agent skills that turn GitHub Copilot into a hands-on marketing strategist. Here's what I learned, how they work, and how you can use (or build) your own.
