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
Testing Firefox Extensions with Playwright: End-to-End Testing Guide Extension testing is one of those things everyone knows they should do but few actually do. I've been using Playwright for end-to-end tests on the Weather & Clock Dashboard extension and it's changed how I think about extension quality. Unit tests don't cover the biggest failure modes: Does the extension actually load in Firefo
Why I built another Ruby test runner inspired by Playwright Test Ruby already has great testing tools. If you are building Rails applications today, you probably use one of these combinations: RSpec + Capybara Minitest + Capybara Rails system tests Maybe Selenium, Cuprite, Ferrum, or Playwright through Ruby bindings These tools are mature, battle-tested, and widely used. So the natural question
I wanted to test my web app. That's it. A Next.js portfolio and a SaaS chat — run some accessibility checks, catch console errors, verify nothing's broken on mobile. The kind of thing you do before pushing to production. I opened Claude Code, connected Playwright MCP, typed "test the app" and watched it burn through tokens like there was no tomorrow. Then /compact fired at 18% text context. Then I
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. The problem Open Ahrefs/Semrush → research keywords What if I could encod
The grey enemy and the friend to save me from it If you're a software developer and you are on GitHub, you already know what I'm talking about: the contribution graph. That public heatmap on your profile that tracks your every commit, PR, and review you've ever made. That grid of gray and green squares that (in some cases looks like a well maintained patch of grass) tells a story about your codi
