I was today years old when I learned that "dexter" and "sinister" are latin for right and left.

If you had a ticket to Grace Hopper and have not cancelled your plans to go to San Francisco, go to @github.com's LinkedIn right now if you'd like to attend GitHub Universe for free ❤️

- Be me - Buy a cute retro gaming handheld (Anbernic 476H) - Load up all the best games of my youth (FF 1..n) - Play a lot. It's so fun. Play on the bus home from the work - Accidentally leave it on the bus today 😭 I can buy another but would need to start the games over from scratch. Gutted

New project from GitHub Next! Chopin is a real-time, multiplayer, agentic planning environment designed to align your team. Our current planning tools feel static, lonely, and drown us in walls of text. How can we make planning feel interactive, shared, and visual? githubnext.com/projects/cho...

Every time I see someone showing off their 3d printing setup and they just have rolls and rolls of filament sitting out there naked, on shelves, I console myself with the fact that while they may have sensible humidity levels, I probably enjoy better weather overall, bah humbug

The year is 2062¾. Humanity has learned how to travel in time. The inventors meet to discuss where it must be used. A heated discussion ensues, until one researcher stands up, slaps the table, and asserts "no. We have to prevent humans from learning to write. It's the only way to be sure."

The year is 2027½. Google renames chrome to Gemini Browser. But in this timeline, they allow an intrepid comms person to put out a statement consisting only of the words "we just felt like it idk"

✨ New post! "Knowledge compressor" We're all writing more specs. Pretty soon they add up to real tokens! How can we get rigorous about compacting that context in a way that doesn't impact model understanding? githubnext.com/posts/knowle... Discussion on HN: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4943...

Finally got around to mending the torn load lifter straps on my backpacking bag. One was torn and one fraying, so i cut them both off cleanly, cauterized with a lighter, made new straps and sewed them in with generous bartacking, then wrapped it up in tenacious tape. Proud of my handiwork tonight!

Software Factories, Continuous AI and GitHub Agentic Workflows! GitHub's Don Syme joins Tessl's Guy Podjarny on The AI Native Dev to explore agentic repository automation. Episode Links YouTube: tessl.co/qsf Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1QP2...

I am wondering if in the future it will be: - my agent and your agent sharing a task (agents end up being everyone's very personalized avatar in the creative space) - we are communicating within earshot of multiple agents who do work (they are not intrinsically linked to either of us)

There should be a zero-width joiner that allows me to flip any emoji directionally. Like I want 🤞 to have a horizontally mirrored variant so I can emoji "both fingers crossed" but have it look like a left and right hand instead of two right hands

Lettermatic ✕ GitHub Next: the inside story of Monaspace, a truly groundbreaking advancement for how we display code. We knew that Lettermatic would go deep, but we were still amazed by their level of knowledge and craft. See their case study below, and get the fonts at monaspace.githubnext.com

This week on Overcommitted, we talk with Idan Gazit, the head of research at GitHub next. His team created the original GitHub copilot. He shares with us what innovation work actually looks like from the inside.

We're super jazzed to be launching GitHub Agentic Workflows into technical preview today! "Generative AI" kind of fooled us into thinking that AI is synchronous, but async AI can have so much more value for us as developers. 🧵 github.blog/ai-and-ml/au...

We've just shipped something fun - Technical Preview of GitHub Agentic Workflows by @githubnext.com Check out blog post from @dsyme.bsky.social and Peli de Halleux github.blog/ai-and-ml/au...

Guess this is how the north korean hackers try to recruit? Lol

I have crappy vision. I bump up the text size on my phone to make it easier for me to see. Half of my apps have weird text overflow bugs as a result. Thanks, I hate it

I bought pumpkin spice Milano cookies and they were not worth it. Mint Milanos remain the GOAT

My latest post is out! 🔄 Introduce "Semi-automatic Performance Engineering" 🏆 A Grand Challenge for CS 🧩 Why it's hard, heterogeneous ✨ Show GitHub Agentic Workflows "Daily Perf Improver" 🔮 What's Possible, Potential, and Delusional 🧹 Let's tackle technical debt! dsyme.net/2025/10/12/t...

First day of my new life at Github Next! @githubnext.com ✨ I've had my eye on this team for a long time, and it feels like the perfect moment to join them.

Going to be at Universe 25? Come see what the Next team has been cooking 🍳

gradient.style has finally - come out of beta - offers multiple background editing - is open source 🎉 nerdy.dev/gradient.sty...

1/ 🚀 New from Next: Agentic Workflows, a research demonstrator exploring natural-language programming for GitHub Actions. It’s one concrete manifestation of what we’re calling “Continuous AI,” focusing on repo-level automation you can describe in plain English. 🔗 github.com/githubnext/gh-aw

The Svelte 5 guide has everything from reactivity and how it works, when to use and avoid effects, events, bindings, components and composition, transitions and animations to using third party libraries and making external systems reactive. 🔥

Sensationalist news be like: "Octocat to be executed at dawn by firing squad" I've lived through integration apocalypses before at Heroku/Salesforce. This is not that. GitHub is still GitHub despite the gods playing musical chairs up there on Mt. Olympus.

Also hi fellow Hebrew speakers, I got interviewed on Geekonomy: geekonomy.net/2025/07/29/g...

This recording of Billie Marten's Crown is warm, reverby, lush. Three guitars, a bass, a muffled drum kit, and all of them are doing different things. I've listened to this on repeat just trying to make out what each instrument is doing and it's sublime. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhKo...

A “department of fool around and find out" – that's how #GitHubNext approaches innovation! In this #InfoQ #podcast, @gazit.me & @eaftan.bsky.social reveal how their team drives the future of #AI -powered developer tools through rapid experimentation & user feedback. 🎧 Listen now: bit.ly/3UfCv7w

I've published a project page about small exploration I've done earlier this year around code navigation / visualization of code structure using LLMs. Feel free to check it out: githubnext.com/projects/cop...

For the last 10 years I’ve been wanting a chance to design the future—not tomorrow, or the next thing, but 3 things after that. The 5 year horizon. To explore design fiction, maybe even a bit of science fiction? Tomorrow, I get to give it a shot with my first day @githubnext.com !

Apparently Claude studied under Picasso 😂

In each and every generation, a person is obligated to see himself as if he left Egypt Happy passover to all ❤️

2024 was a year of endings for me. I stopped using tools like Twitter which have been central to my life and career. I stopped consuming sources of news that I've consumed for decades. These things ache sometimes like lost limbs. I think that maybe a lot of us are in this vibe, together but alone

Svelte v5 is what React should've been.

The Verge is shitty journalism no matter how many readers it has. Some stuff is good, but their spicier takes verge on (badumtss) tabloid gossip and thinly veiled editorial agendas. Much like techbros pretend that their opinions are valid in fields they don't understand.

Two of my favorite people from social media, together on the podcast. What a great treat. 😍

Discovered a mastodon/bsky unified client for Android and it's actually quite nice? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plebstr.client

My girlfriend and I made a little two-player word game. It’s called Word Rumble ✨ Have fun: wordrumble.fun

Introducing svelte-llm - Svelte 5 and SvelteKit documentation in an LLM-friendly format for use with AI like Claude Sonnet, Copilot or ChatGPT. The site provides up-to date documentation and a variety of different sizes that fit most models.
