Agentic Coding Is Not a Trap: I Answered the Viral HN Post With My Own Production Logs I made the exact mistake that viral post criticizes: I gave an agent an ambiguous task and went to make coffee. Came back 40 minutes later to 23 modified files, three broken tests, and a refactor nobody asked for. I'm not telling this to complain — I'm telling it because that day I started keeping logs of my a
Agentic coding no es una trampa: le respondí al post viral de HN con mis propios logs de producción Cometí el mismo error que critica ese post viral: le di a un agente una tarea ambigua y me fui a tomar mate. Volví 40 minutos después con 23 archivos modificados, tres tests rotos y una refactor que nadie había pedido. No lo cuento para llorar — lo cuento porque ese día empecé a llevar logs de mis
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
Barman Replacing pgbackrest: I Migrated My Postgres Backups in Production and Here's What I Found The weekend I migrated from Vercel to Railway — the same one I mentioned when I talked about cold starts — I spent nearly twelve hours reading Postgres logs I'd never had to read that seriously before. It wasn't a tutorial. It was real production, real data, and the underlying question was always th
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
