• OpenCode Hit 140K Stars. Why Terminal Agents Won 2026.

  First, remote dev environments became table stakes. GitHub Codespaces, Gitpod, and self-hosted dev containers became how serious teams worked. Every engineer I know who ships to production now SSHs into a box they didn't provision, edits files with whatever editor is installed, and commits from a terminal. An IDE-bound agent requires you to also forward your IDE to the remote box, which most people don't bother... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Introducing codespaces.el: The Best Way to Use GitHub Codespaces

  This package provides support for managing GitHub Codespaces in Emacs and connecting to them via TRAMP. It provides a handy completing-read UI that lets you choose from all your created codespaces. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Don't get scammed on an interview.

  GitHub Codespaces provides 60 hours of free compute time every month, which is more than enough for scoped home assignments or interviews. It’s a full VSCode in the browser at github.dev or vscode.dev. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Stop Wasting Hours on Environment Setup - These Tools Will Save Your Sanity

  GitHub Codespaces - Cloud development. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• VSCode's SSH Agent Is Bananas

  https://github.com/features/codespaces All you need is a well-defined .devcontainer file. Debugging, extensions, collaborative coding, dependant services, OS libraries, as much RAM as you need (as opposed to what you have), specific NodeJS Versions — all with a single click. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• DSLs Enable Reliable Use of LLMs

  Anecdotal, but I have built from scratch a fairly large OpenAPI-compliant service using the Goa dsl (https://goa.design) and a coding agent and I've suspected for a while that the reason I've been as productive as I have with few blind alleys is that Goa kept the mistake surface pretty constrained. I also like not having the model generate boilerplate, as Goa's tooling does all that so much more cheaply. YMMV. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• IBM to Acquire HashiCorp, Inc

  My experience of Golang is that dependency injection doesn't really have much benefit. It felt like a square peg in a round hole exercise when my team considered it. The team was almost exclusively Java/Typescript Devs so it was something that we thought we needed but I don't believe we actually missed once we decided to not pursue it. If you are looking at OpenAPI in Golang I can recommend having a look at... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Microservices communication

  See https://goa.design/. It automates all the comms stuff, so you just write: 1) a design file showing your functions, 2) an implantation of those functions, and 3) a very generic "main.go" (basically the same for all your services) that decides "how is this exposed over gRPC or REST or other comms?". The rest of the code is generated. Source: over 2 years ago

• Which is the best framework to create web apps with go?

  If you really need a framework, you can take a look at Echo or, for a contract-first approach, https://goa.design/. Source: about 3 years ago

• OpenAPI v4 Proposal

  Few folks in here are (rightly) frustrated with the code generation story and broader tooling support around the OpenAPI standard. I've found a few alternative approaches quite nice to work with: - Use a DSL to describe your service and have it spit out the OpenAPI spec as well as server stubs. In other words, I wouldn't bother writing OpenAPI directly - it's an artifact that is generated at build time. As a Go... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
