GitHub - github/spec-kit: 💫 Toolkit to help you get started with Spec-Driven Development 💫 Toolkit to help you get started with Spec-Driven Development - github/spec-kit

I 💙 github.com/github/spec-... tool for creating new features using it's CLI to get you up and running quickly. It's very thorough, and the code review is going to take much longer than the feature. Fingers crossed 🤞

La microgestión mata el talento y la motivación

I’d rather my tests run in under 5 seconds (without coverage report) and aim for 90% coverage, often settling for closer to 80% coverage, than have a long running test suite killing me by 3,622 tiny cuts (that’s how many tests I have, but running at 15 seconds!) Fast tests ftw

The force is strong with this GHCP/Claude Opus prompt: "Please don't ever use any type or eslint-disable. There is always a way young skywalker. Join the light side of the force!"

I'm waiting to see if a Darth Vader approach will be used instead (if so, I'm outta here)

#AI #claude #anthropic #ghcp

My record player sounds best at -42db. Just a little too loud for the neighbors. Oh well, I can always wait until they’re not home

I feel like I’m playing build roulette using GitHub copilot to fix my breaking build. I’m about to have a devops persona prompt to review my build process etc. #devops #docker #aws #ghcp

Six passing builds in a row. What, me worry? Merge.

GitHub Copilot with Claude Sonnet 4.5 generated this; some pretty solid advice about not taking your secrets to email or slack:

### ❌ DON'T

- Commit `.env` files to git (already in `.gitignore`)
- Share secrets in Slack/email
- Use the same AUTH_SECRET across environments

"A lot of the root source directory is JSON configs for various package managers because, Internet." 😂😂😂

Many big projects evoke Nietzsche's "gazing into the abysss," bit.ly/3WBSA95 Gaze not into code rewrite, rather remember: "because, Internet"

This message is dedicated to all my fellow tab hoarders!

I sort of just rage quit all browser tabs and windows had open, regaining about 8 GB or so of memory. It felt so dangerous. It felt so good. It was worth it. Totally. Oh, and I wasn’t really raging nor did it stop me from creating new tabs. I closed the tabs in Visual studio Code! All my editors!

And this is what just putting the heading “Ideal” under my other four prompt-generating headings yielded. “It looks like a Lawrence Ferlinghetti poem out of a Coney Island of the mind” unlike the other four headings this one doesn’t stop spitting out words. It starts repeating them! #AI #GHCP

I started with four headings to prompt the AI to deliver an even better response than the one before for each heading. And Claude Sonnet in GitHub copilot does a fantastic job. Tonight I wondered if I might strike a chord with the AI by giving it the heading “Ideal” and it wrote a full page prompt!

Beyond Vibe Coding with Addy Osmani YouTube video by The Pragmatic Engineer

@addyosmani.bsky.social has spoken, and vibe coding shall not pass youtu.be/dHIppEqwi0g?...

AI tool just told me it had synthesized a typescript pattern name as its “honest” answer as to where I was getting its info. Nice feature, but do I have to prompt where it’s getting its information from every time I use it? Anyone heard of const assertion object pattern?

My favorite new GitHub copilot trick:
Create a markdown file. Establish four headings: Good, Better, Best, and Outstanding. Write your first prompt under the heading Good: “As a senior software engineer…” Repeat this process for each heading and let GHCP iterate over the prompts. I get great mileage

I have two vs code windows open, running GitHub copilot in both running the same prompt, and my computer still hasn’t run output of memory yet. Good vibes only

Pimp and tweak that eslint configuration

I feel the urge to merge

Copilot finished iterating on the prompt, and told me this with emojis: Charles Xavier would be impressed with this level of mental organization 🧠✨

Would love any suggestions on how to add a little more flavor to my shadcn-ui components, then please let me know—not really a designer per se.

Trying to encourage my AI coding assistant with this prompt: “Fix the linting errors that occur when you run npm run lint.”

“Then just to mess with the AI:
Charles Xavier and Cerebro could do it, but I bet you can do it with your hands tied behind your back”

Well, I’ve exhausted the GitHub copilot premium requests for my personal account this month using the Pro subscription. I’m already scraping the piggy bank for more. Today so far: a meager spend of two bucks or so. Will I make it to the end of the month on a $15 budget?

Holy Batman. GitHub copilot is running python to fix my typescript errors. What is the world coming to? What am I doing with my life?

Anytime I’ve type a long command for the 1000th time, I get the urge to make an alias for it and save my precious hands from all that typing

My dad watching my editor generate code using GitHub copilot, shrugs and says: “Oh yeah, I’ve seen the Matrix” like what was happening on the screen was so yesterday

Me talking to AI as I review the code it generated: Yeah, that looks right—kinda how I used to do it. Whistles. And merge.

GitHub copilot flow:
1. Prompt it with lotsa context
2. Click allow always buttons
3. Click continue always buttons
4. Curse hallucinations
5. Take the time to review the changes
6. Make it write unit tests for code added
7. Lint and fix errors
8. Make it review the code it just wrote
And so it goes

When AI coding assistant goes all rogue and starts vibe coding with opinions that aren’t mine

Sometimes my AI prompts make me feel like that person in a long line line at Starbucks trying to order a Venti, half-caf, sugar free caramel latte (exactly 6 pumps), add whipped cream, skinny, with a few shakes of cinnamon on the froth and cup sleeve to protect my stupid hands!
