• I almost credited llms.txt for a Google AI Mode win. Then I read what Google actually says.

  Where llms.txt genuinely gets read is a different layer: coding and agent tooling — Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf — pulling a documentation site's pages with less token waste, plus emerging agent protocols like OpenAI's Agents SDK. That's real, and it's growing fast. - Source: dev.to / 16 days ago

• GitHub Copilot for Engineers: Getting Better Results

  You need an active GitHub Copilot subscription. Plans are available at individual, business, and enterprise tiers at github.com/features/copilot. Once active, all tools use your GitHub account credentials. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Agentic: Which App/Harness Is Best for Angular Development?

  For over a decade PhpStorm (starting in my WordPress era) and later WebStorm have been my main IDEs for web development. So when GitHub Copilot launched, it was a natural choice to try it out in WebStorm. It was one of the first AI coding tools I used, and it had a big impact on how I thought about AI-assisted coding. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Your Design System Needs An MCP Server

  Before we get into it, there are some things about AI usage worth addressing. I've had my fair share of scepticism in the past, but recent model releases have made it increasingly difficult to argue that AI isn't a viable tool for the majority of workstreams, including building user interfaces. Most large language models are trained on public data scraped from the internet, which means your internal design system... - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Custom Copilot Agents: Building Domain-Expert AI Teammates with Skills, MCP Tools, and Custom Knowledge

  Most developers still treat GitHub Copilot like a very good autocomplete engine. That's useful, but it's not the real unlock. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Devenv 2.1: Nix with zsh, fish, and nushell via libghostty

  First I'm hearing of devenv, seems quite similar to flox[1]. I wonder what sets it apart, as there's quite a few overlapping features? [1] https://flox.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Bazzite: The next generation of Linux gaming

  Technically its performance is a bit slower than CachyOS, and some of the package versions can be a bit behind as well (like Mesa or the kernel), which can contribute to the slowness. Flatpaks work fine though for the most part. I would recommend CachyOS if you're after raw performance and you're technically inclined, and don't mind ocassionally going into the terminal to fix something or do some maintenance... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Run your GitHub Actions locally

  - `flox activate` -> get to work The reason we call these "environments" instead of "developer environments" is that what we provide is a generalization of developer environments, so they're useful in more than just local development contexts. For example, you can use Flox to replace Homebrew by creating a "default" environment in your home directory [2]. You can also bundle an environment up into a container [3]... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Dagger Shell: Unix Pipeline Pattern for Typed API Objects

  Is the objective to get inside a container to do dev stuff? Reminds me of https://www.jetify.com/devbox and https://flox.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
