GitLens hit a milestone that shows what happens when you solve real problems for developers. We started with a simple idea: make Git history visual, intuitive, and actually useful inside VS Code. Eight years later, developers have spoken. Thanks for trusting us with your Git workflow. 🙌

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

@pnpm.io Is there any way to use `minimumReleaseAge` but have it exclude direct dependencies (if they are targeting a specific version)? I often want to pick a specific dependency in my `package.json`, but still have `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` still enforced for all the indirect deps.

The public preview of Github Copilot CLI launched today, and if you install it, you'll be welcomed by little ASCII art welcome banner that I animated. Creating it ended up being great example of how vibe-coding has entered my toolbelt. Nerdy deets in 🧵...

some thoughts about the bloat introduced by edge-case first libraries

This is a really, really good article. I highly recommend it

I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...

Disposable code is here to stay, but durable code is what runs the world, and it isn't going anywhere either. www.honeycomb.io/blog/disposa... (Engineers who are freaking out about their jobs going away can stop now. 💜)

ICE Is a terrorist organization.

I've had this headline rattling around in my brain since January and I finally wrote it. Been hearing too many people in the startup world buying into the neoractionary nonsense that maybe a little light fascism is good for silicon valley. It's not. It's very, very bad.

I started a little pet project recently, a VS Code extension that discovers Custom Elements Manifests in your workspace and starts a local MCP server that AI assistants can connect to. Features are still very early & rough. Love to hear your feedback! marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...

Want your AI tools to actually act like teammates? The new GitKraken MCP server lets you connect agents like Copilot, Cursor & Windsurf to your CLI so they can: ✅ Clean branches ✅ Write PRs ✅ Surface insights instantly 👉 Try it now: www.gitkraken.com/blog/introdu... #GitKraken #AIforDevs

Risky post! (This is great, fun to read and the frustrated tone throughout really does capture how it feels sometimes to be an experienced programmer trying to argue that "LLMs are actually really useful" in many corners of the internet)

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor. We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together. aka.ms/open-source-...

I wrote about the White House X account — which is steeped in the sociopathic posting style of far-right extremists — and seems to get more sinister and cruel with its posts each week of the administration. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Cool cool. @durbin.senate.gov, @amyklobuchar.com @klobuchar.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov are looking to team up with MAGA to give Donald Trump the power to censor anything he wants on the Internet. Do they not recognize what will happen?

one thing i do not like about these days is that i am filled with hate for so many people

Git 2.49 is here ✨ and filled with new features like faster packing, backfilling blobs in partial clones, and much more. Check out our coverage of the highlights.

Epic idea

Today we're thrilled to announce our effort to port the TypeScript compiler and language service to native code, gaining a 10x speed boost in build times and editor responsiveness! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/t...

Fuck everyone who ever voted for, apologized for, or supported this guy in any way.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."
