• Test smarter with Snagly: 30 open-source QA skills for AI coding agents

  Snagly is a free, MIT-licensed set of 30 skills for AI coding agents — GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ others — that turn "an AI that can drive a browser" into "an AI that tests like a QA professional." A skill, if you haven't met them yet, is a reusable instruction set that teaches the agent a specific working method — when to use it, what rigor it requires, what evidence to capture, and what... - Source: dev.to / 8 days ago

• 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 / about 2 months 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 / 2 months 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 / 2 months 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 / 3 months ago

• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / almost 4 years ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file. This reduces the level of maintaining a lot of small scripts, Dockerfiles and configurations and the user can simply trigger a couple of Commands to get a minimalist OS at the end of the process. - Source: dev.to / almost 4 years ago

• After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

  And while it is a slight increase in complexity, it can be an overall net gain in functionality, configurability and reliability. Much like Packer is far more reliable and practical than manually making VM images sitting in front of a terminal, even though making the initial configuration takes some time.

• Customized Ubuntu Images using Packer + QEMU + Cloud-Init & UEFI bootloading

  Hashicorp Packer provides a nice wrapper / abstraction over the QEMU in order to boot the image and use it to set it up on first-boot. Instead of writing really long commands in order to boot up the image using QEMU, Packer provided a nice Configuration Template in a more Readable fashion. - Source: dev.to / almost 4 years ago

• The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network

  Packer seemed like the perfect tool for the job. I have never used it before and wanted to get familiar with the tool. It doesn't come with ARM support out of the box, but there are two community projects to fill that niche. - Source: dev.to / over 4 years ago
