Dhruv Amin stated, 'We built a mobile app primarily to let our users who are building iOS apps preview their own app on their own device while developing it. [We] had no problems through December. Post December, we and everyone else in the category started getting our updates blocked.'

sbt 2.x uses Scala 3.x for build definitions and plugins, while still supporting Scala 2.x. It embraces a simpler build.sbt via common settings and introduces an incremental test feature.

The Swift for Visual Studio Code extension adds first-class language support for projects built with Swift Package Manager, enabling seamless cross-platform development on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

The last week of the release continued the same 'lots of small fixes' trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I've tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out.

Microsoft did not send me any emails or prior warnings. I have received no explanation for the termination and their message indicates that no appeal is possible. I have tried to contact Microsoft through various channels but I have only received automated replies and bots. I was unable to reach a human.

Legacy software, often described as 'big balls of mud,' has accumulated over decades, becoming difficult to maintain and understand. These systems rely on extensive teams to function, despite their outdated technology.

So I made a commitment to myself at the start of [month] to actually ship things instead of endlessly tweaking projects in private. I called it "Vibe Coding" - basically just building whatever feels useful in the moment without overthinking. In the first month, I managed to launch two tools: 1. Names Combiner ( https://namecombiner.us/, the better version of namescombiner com because people cretezcize me toooooooooooooo much Combines two names to create unique name mashups.

Dependabot sounded the alarm on a large scale. Thousands of repositories automatically received pull requests and warnings, including a high vulnerability score and signals about possible compatibility issues. According to Valsorda, this shows that the tool mainly checks whether a dependency is present, without analyzing whether the vulnerable code is actually accessible within a project.

Giving coding agents full access to all of Ramp's engineering tools is what makes Inspect truly innovative. Instead of only letting agents write basic code, Ramp's system runs in sandboxed virtual machines on Modal. It works seamlessly with databases, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools like Sentry and Datadog, feature flags, and communication platforms such as Slack and GitHub. Agents can write code and ensure it works by using the same testing and validation processes that engineers use every day.

The reason for this is Snap - a Linux application packaging format - creates a local Trash folder for each VS Code version, one that's separate from the system-managed Trash, according to a VS Code bug report dating back to November 11, 2024. Not only that, but Snap keeps older versions of VS Code after updates, potentially multiplying the number of local Trash folders and the trashed-but-not-deleted files therein. Emptying the system Trash folder doesn't affect the local instances.

One thing I always do when I prompt a coding agent is to tell it to ask me any questions that it might have about what I've asked it to do. (I need to add this to my default system prompt...) And, holy mackerel, if it doesn't ask good questions. It almost always asks me things that I should have thought of myself.
