In recent months, a peculiar behavior observed in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) has sparked discussions among developers: the automatic insertion of the phrase “co-authored by Copilot” in the code comments, even when GitHub Copilot is not actively used by the developer. This phenomenon raises essential questions regarding code attribution, developer productivity, and the implications of AI-assisted

There are two sections to this. In the first section, I discuss what squad is, why it might be useful to learn, and Coding is solved, apparently. If you're a software engineer and you've been using coding agents for a while, The work has certainly changed. For most code changes, it's easier just to ask an agent to do it and you might even worry you're going too slow if you don't. For a lot of us,
This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Part 2 (coming soon): Connecting to spoke clusters from a controller using multicluster-runtime, driven by ClusterProfile. The Cluster Inventory API (multicluster.x-k8s.io) is driven by SIG-Multicluster and centered on the ClusterProfile resource. It only delivers value when something produces those ClusterProfiles. That something is a cluster manager. Today, t
At the beginning of this series, the problem seemed simple. There were a lot of rocks in the yard. Some were small. Some were large. A few were firmly in what I’ve been calling Engine Block Class. The original idea was straightforward: catalog them, maybe sell a few, and build a small system around the process. Along the way, the project grew. What We Built Across the previous posts, the Backyard
When developers travel, we usually prepare the obvious things. Laptop charger. But there is one dependency that is easy to underestimate until it breaks: mobile internet. A trip to China makes this especially obvious. Not because China is hard to travel in, but because so many basic interactions are mobile-first: navigation, translation, ride-hailing, hotel communication, ticket confirmations, pay
A defaced website is a curious problem. It's loud — anyone visiting the page can see something is wrong. But it's also quiet from a server's perspective: HTTP returns 200, your uptime monitor is happy, your TLS cert hasn't moved, and the CMS logs show a "successful" content update from a legitimate-looking session. The signal is on the rendered page, not in the metrics. I run a site at hi3ris.blue
As a developer, you deal with text casing constantly - button labels, nav items, page titles, error messages, documentation headings. And at some point, someone on your team will ask: Here's the definitive answer. // Title Case — most words capitalized "The Best Free Tools for Writers and Developers" // Sentence case — only first word + proper nouns "The best free tools for writers and developer
