Starting AI agents is easy. Keeping track of them is the hard part. Kepler runs every agent in one place, from idea to merged, every session visible live. Bring your own agents and models. Free in public preview. gitkraken.com/blog/big-kep... #AIagents #DevTools #Kepler

Running 3 AI agents across 5 repos usually means 12 open terminals and zero idea what's actually happening. Kepler tracks it all in one place. We walk through starting tasks from scratch, from an issue, or from a PR, plus Kanban, list, and console views. youtu.be/KWggzuJiqTA #AgenticDev #Kepler

Which LLM is actually best at git tasks? We built a benchmark to find out. GitBench: 17 categories, 204 test cases, 43+ models tested. Some surprises: frontier models don't always win, and cost doesn't always track with quality. Results → gitbench.gitkraken.com

Have you updated to GitLens 18.3 yet? This release makes AI workflows more capable, conflict resolution smarter, and the Commit Graph even more powerful, plus a completely redesigned Settings experience. Here’s what’s new 🧵👇

Anyone else noticed the Canvas in the Gemini webapp barely works anymore? I can't seem to get the models (3.5 Flash or 3.1 Pro) to use the canvas at all (though they SAY they did) or they do actually use it, but it's only a code file without any preview mode. Been happening for a week or more now.

The layer between plan and main has no owner. That is the gap. And it's now the most expensive problem in software development. We know what breaks. We built the fix. The Code Flow Company, from plan to main. More from our CEO: www.gitkraken.com/blog/gitkrak... #TheCodeFlowCompany

@pnpm.io Is there any way to use `minimumReleaseAge` but have it exclude direct dependencies (if they are targeting a specific version)? I often want to pick a specific dependency in my `package.json`, but still have `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` still enforced for all the indirect deps.

This is a really, really good article. I highly recommend it
More than anything, though, fascists set up real-life trolley problems to get people to agree to their horrific premises: that there must be people tied to the trolley tracks, that the trolley must run down the tracks no matter who is killed, that talking about the horrors that ensue is an offense against civility greater than the horrors themselves; that rescuing people from death is more dangerous to a properly ordered society than is condemning them to death; that stopping the trolley or fouling the track is a violent crime in a way that running people over with a train car is not. Fascists set up real-life trolley problems because it gives them a framework and justification for removing all options that a sensible and empathetic person would pursue, so they can convince their opponents that the pursuit of sensible and empathetic things is both wrong and impractical.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.
