Etc

[Ahmed Elsakaan @ixahmedxi]

Whoever at Anthropic still denying the need for Claude Code adopting AGENTS.md

You’re wrong, full stop.

the whole industry agreed on one thing and you’ve forced many codebases to adopt a system of symlinks and hacks to stay compatible with your tool

[The Ult @the_ult_dev]

Guess I'm lucky.. I'm _only_ at 83%

Dear GitHub Copilot team,

I am happy to announce that I successfully burned all of my monthly tokens in under 3 days thanks to your garbage new pricing model.

I'd also like to inform you that I won't be renewing my subscription or adding more budget.

Best,
A former customer.

[Angular @angular]

Angular v22 is now available 🥳

Here is a quick look at what's landing today:
✅ Signal Forms, Angular Aria & resource are officially STABLE
✅ OnPush change detection is now the default
✅ Template updates and more

Read the full breakdown on the blog:
📰 https://t.co/YNkIBYH3aS

Which of these updates is your favorite?

[Enea Jahollari 🅰 @Enea_Jahollari]

🔥 OnPush is now the DEFAULT change detection strategy
Components with no changeDetection set are now OnPush automatically.
Want the old behavior? Set ChangeDetectionStrategy.Eager (there's a migration for it).

✍️ Signal Forms graduated to the public API!
No longer experimental 🎉
You also get:
- reloadValidation()
- debounce on validateAsync/validateHttp
- FieldState.getError()
- template + reactive FVC support

🌐 FetchBackend is now the default for HttpClient
withFetch is deprecated → just remove it.
⚠️ Need upload progress? Use provideHttpClient(withXhr).
Also: reportProgress → split into reportUploadProgress & reportDownloadProgress

💧 Incremental hydration is now the default behavior. No extra config needed.

🤖 Angular is going all-in on AI/MCP tooling:
- provideWebMcpTools
- declareWebMcpTool (experimental)
- AI runtime debugging tools
- an in-page Angular DI graph AI tool

✨ New core goodies:
- @Service decorator (stable)
- injectAsync() helper
- debouncing signals
- resource caching for SSR
- bootstrap apps under shadow roots
- TestBed.getLastFixture()

🧹 Big cleanup (breaking):

- ComponentFactory / ComponentFactoryResolver → gone
- createNgModuleRef → createNgModule
- checkNoChanges → removed
- provideRoutes → provideRouter
- Hammer.js integration → removed

⚙️ Version requirements:

- Node.js 26 supported
- TypeScript 5.9 dropped
- Minimum TS is now 6.0

🧭 Router changes:

- paramsInheritanceStrategy now defaults to 'always'
currentSnapshot in CanMatchFn is now required
- new browserUrl input on router links

That's Angular v22 in a nutshell 🎯

Angular 22.0 is available !

[The Ult @the_ult_dev]

Want to try it.. But afraid that I cannot afford it. And I'm on the Pro+ plan.. 😱

[Oren Melamed @OrenMe]

The GitHub Copilot app is now available for more people, good time to try it

I'm learning new things every day, for example the way it renders the plan with updates is absolutly beutiful!

[Adam Buckley @happyadam73]

Wow 6% of Github Copilot Pro credits required for some simple help with using git stash. Not sure why it says 4.3 credits consumed but it actually cost over 100 credits. @github I've been a loyal Github Copilot customer for 4 years, but I think it's time to part ways :-(

[The Ult @the_ult_dev]

@sgorozco @m_sturdevant @Copilot @GitHubCopilot yes, has something to do with the old billing / per request type of your plan.

And my yearplan has been canceled 🤔

[The Ult @the_ult_dev]

@m_sturdevant @Copilot @GitHubCopilot Looking at @MistralAI Vibe alternative.

[The Ult @the_ult_dev]

@m_sturdevant @Copilot In 1 day. Over 30%

And was mostly using Claude Code instead of @GitHubCopilot

But used a few gpt 5.5 . Only saw the crazy multiplier later 😱😭

[The Ult @the_ult_dev]

@angular Full @vitest support. Including working Vscode Test Explorer, etc.

Full vite support, so Angular won't be last to be supported by tooling

[The Ult @the_ult_dev]

@stolinski Sorry 😇
The cutoff of januari

Is that because it is basically 4.7 with tweaks/improvements?

[Arno Dirlam @arnodirlam]

@zeddotdev Thank you for using .agents/skills/ as the repo folder, towards a canonical standard directory structure for agents 🙌

[The Ult @the_ult_dev]

@mattpocockuk Yes of course.
Was just wondering about your reasoning about why in the docs folder 😇👍
