AI made writing code faster. It did not make shipping code easier. The bottleneck moved. Most teams haven't noticed yet.

Everyone got faster at generating code. Almost no one got faster at delivering it. Generating code is not the same thing as delivering software.

In 2019 the problem was: Git is hard. In 2026 the problem is: Git is easy. Keeping all the AI-generated code from breaking everything is not. Big changes are coming next week.

[Kevin Bost @kitokeboo]

100% this. AI amplifies your current development. Make sure it is amplifying good work.

[GitKraken @GitKraken]

Hot take: the most AI-proof developer skill is not ‘prompt engineering.’

It'a making your work easy for other humans to understand. Clean branches. Useful commits. Reviewable PRs. A repo history that tells the truth. That's leverage.

@DevLeaderCa TUnit, Moq.AutoMock are my defaults for my templates right now. Playwright for UI level tests. Verify for any snapshot testing.

@maddymontaquila @pierceboggan @aspiredotdev Love it, `aspire run` is the first script I add for all of my Aspire projects.

@github just released the new GitHub Copilot app. I sat down with PM @pierceboggan to talk about what it means for developers and where things are headed next. Links in the description: https://t.co/Z4dtN904Ko

[Kevin Bost @kitokeboo]

This is a very exciting announcement. I have been eagerly looking forward to this.

Your metrics were all green. Three senior engineers just quit anyway.

DevEx predicts what's coming 3-6 months before it shows up in cycle time or attrition.

Great conversation with @BiloganSteve from Uno Platform on cross‑platform dev and how AI is reshaping their approach. Worth a watch if you build for more than one screen. 🎥 https://t.co/xRyHDo9TfI

[Kevin Bost @kitokeboo]

Sat down with @IAmTimCorey the master of practical, no‑nonsense developer teaching. We dug into how devs can keep learning in a world reshaped by AI. Clear insights, real guidance.

I got to sit down with @maddymontaquila to talk career, product thinking, and her work on Aspire. She’s thoughtful, candid, and brings a great perspective.

We know some of you rolled your eyes at "AI features."

Fair. Watch this anyway.

GitKraken AI handles commit messages, PR drafts, and conflict hints. Your code stays yours.

Your opinions about AI can stay too ;)

[Evan Boyle @_Evan_Boyle]

Remote control is now live in the Copilot CLI!

Run Copilot on your local machine, leave it plugged in, head to the beach, and drive the agent from your mobile phone 😎

[Burke Holland @burkeholland]

The @GitHub Research folks released a "Rubber Duck" agent for the Copilot CLI.

Automatically get a review from a model from a different AI family.

And their data shows that yes, this does in fact help. Quite a bit.

[David Fowler @davidfowl]

 “Stop making your agent a process manager”

The agent harnesses really suck at this. Some attempt to keep track of background processes but the experience is not good. Having a dedicated tool that the agent can query results in a much better devex. @aspiredotdev does this.

[Nicke Manarin @NickeManarin]

Hey folks!
Today I’m launching N‑Studio — the successor to ScreenToGif.
It’s a passion project that’s been years in the making, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed building it.
