When you build a PowerShell project from multiple files, the natural structure is clear: enums first, then classes, then functions. Each group has its own place, and as long as dependencies only flow in one direction, that structure works perfectly. But sometimes a function depends on a class, and that class calls the function. There is no longer a clean boundary between the two groups — they need
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
The drift problem nobody told you about If you have used Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, or any other AI coding agent across more than two projects, you have felt this: You start project A. You copy the .agents/ folder (or CLAUDE.md, or .cursorrules) from your last project. You tweak two things. Done. You start project B six weeks later. You copy from project A. You tweak three things this time. Now
Cross-posted from the Stigmem blog. Today we're releasing stigmem v1.0: A stable, open-source specification and reference implementation for a federated knowledge fabric for AI agents. Stigmem = Stigmergy + Memory. Stigmergy (Greek stigma — mark; ergon — work) is the coordination mechanism you see in ant colonies and termite mounds: agents don't communicate directly with each other. Instead, they
More rules should mean better output. That's the intuition. I spent weeks building a comprehensive CLAUDE.md — 200 lines covering naming conventions, security rules, error handling, architectural patterns, import ordering, type safety requirements, and more. I was proud of it. I'd thought through every scenario. Then I scored the output. 79.0 / 100. My carefully crafted documentation was actively
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
I still remember the message. A developer on my team - sharp, careful - pinged me: "My Claude Code bill spiked $200 this week. Same workflow. Something's off." I had no answer. The built-in usage view showed session totals. The web billing page showed monthly aggregates. But neither could answer the only question that mattered: which specific turn ate the money? How do I improve the way I use Clau
