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
Claude + Mobile via MCP: Giving the Model Hands on a Real Phone I plugged in a Pixel two months ago, ran one command in Claude Desktop, and watched it open Maps and start navigation to my home address from a single sentence prompt. It was the first time I'd ever seen a language model physically operate a phone. Latency was about two seconds per action; the part that surprised me was the third st
AI-Native Mobile Testing: What It Actually Means in 2026 The phrase "AI-native" has been thrown around in the testing space since 2019. Almost every tool calling itself that just bolts a language model on top of Appium and ships the same brittle XPath selectors with a new label. That's not AI-native testing. That's Appium with a chatbot. This post is about what AI-native actually has to mean to
The Missing Control Plane for Local AI Agents I sat with my Pixel for 20 minutes trying to get Claude Desktop to dictate a Slack message via accessibility. It was miserable. The model was capable. The transport wasn't. That gap — between an AI that can reason and an AI that can actually do — is what I've been working on with Drengr. This post is the version of the argument I'd give to anyone bui
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
