Using Claude Code with GitHub Copilot: A Guide Because we can’t send company information to just any LLM (in this case Anthropic), I wanted to use Claude Code with our company approved GitHub Copilot. We are already running agents in VSCo…

Quick step by step on using Claude Code with Github Copilot. Some caveats worth reading too. ;-) blog.f12.no/wp/2025/09/2...

@javazone.bsky.social what's up with encoding on your pages? :-) I'm on Chrome in OSX if it matters. :-)

@kentbeck.com is a legend in software engineering: and after coding for 52 years, he's never had more fun than now, he told me. Why? AI agents brought back the joy of creating software without the stuff that he's started to hate about coding.

Gearing up for speaking at @kotlinconf.com ! Excited to share experiences #HTMX and #KTor . Will I see you there?

Reminder: Many systems only need a database. And monoliths are fine for many things. Enough with all the infra complexity already.

the CSS Anchor Positioning API is a game changer

Yeah, definitely not getting all the way with the automated agents and APM. Cross boundaries traces, custom traces and metrics all need to be done to some extent. But agents with APM gives a solid base, and enables drill downs when you see something that is off.

Yeah, the OT agent seems to support a lot these days, and has improved. Did a side by side with NewRelic over a year ago, and NR was much better out of the box then.

Shame there are few good options for the backend/UI, but have to test a few from the list I was given. Miss my NR. ;-)

APM... I miss New Relics APM, but it is not an option now. For reasons. Is there anything I can use that comes close? Maybe open source, but at least on-prem-ish-able?

Opentelemetry agent could come close, but the analysis/UI part of the equation seams weak. What is the best?

I have one from Electrolux that has been good for a while. I have exchanged some parts though, but props to Electrolux for actually letting people order parts directly on their page.

Oh, didn't know that. Seems the plugin will get less attention sadly, but understandably too. I will have to test some others as well, a long time since last.

Not sure it will work, but on standard IDEA I have a decent experience with Supermaven. Might be worth a try. 🙂

I have a vague recollection that I used Redocly CLI last time around. Wasn't perfect, but worked. 🙂

Some more info about the LSP. Seems the protocol design itself is problematic for interop between languages on the JVM. devclass.com/2024/11/21/i...

You can emulate SPA behaviour with things like hx-boost and hx-preload. But I think the need for that is greatly exaggerated in many cases. Forms with submit still works. 😉 This is one way to use it, though a bit on the side of recommended use: blog.f12.no/wp/2024/11/1...

I see it as an addition to HTML. Do HTML and when you want to do something not possible, see if you can do it w HTMX. The main difference is starting out w HTML, then adding compared to React. Adding doesn't have to be HTMX either. Can be Unpoly or Hotwire. HTML first is the main difference.

I should probably test/check other testing libraries, but on the mocks I disagree hard. 😊 In short they are more brittle over time. I have tried to describe my reasoning here: github.com/anderssv/the...

The Impact of Generative AI on Software Developer Performance - BlueOptima

The most robust study I've yet seen on the impact of GenAI on dev productivity

- 4% increase in productivity
- Moderate GenAI users emerged as the highest overall performers
- most GenAI-authored code required significant rework

Like everyone says, it depends. I try to not use them a lot. I often find I have to move away from them and into dependency injection instead.

But I DO love them for setting up test data and then scoped to test via extension functions. Example: github.com/anderssv/the...

Fruits & Roots The forest offers much but demands much too

A big part of my job at the moment is about "driving high performance culture". A lot of @kentbeck.bsky.social's talk of forest & desert is hitting the mood on this right now.

Yeah. It's Tenor integration, which is nice enough for funny interactions, but posting your own is still not supported.

Doh... We need animated GIF support on Bluesky. Can we please? 🙂🙏 github.com/bluesky-soci...

Haha. Where's the book on SourceSafe?
