Good point! For me, the Git history/PRs are the durable part. If there’s something worth exploring later, I let the agent create a draft PR.

I used to have one dev environment per project and switch branches. Now every feature, experiment, and coding agent gets its own disposable environment. If the idea sucks, I delete the session and the entire thing disappears. linu.us/writing/dis...

I Give Every Coding Task Its Own Disposable Workspace - Linus Benkner
I stopped switching branches and started creating disposable development environments instead — one isolated workspace for every feature, experiment, or coding agent.

Polymorphic relations + React components = 🚀 In PlanSights, you can now attach files to projects, epics, tasks, and companies. Polymorphic relationships are great for this! There is only one Attachment model that is used everywhere you can attach a file, and the UI is one reusable React component.

Task Board for plansights.de: Before & After What do you think? It's not a big new feature or bugfix, but I think it really adds to the personality of the software ✨

would you look at that API client! Looks like yaak.app/ is a great alternative to tools like Postman! Local directory sync & git support, environments, variables, functions, request chaining, encryption, ... And it's free & open source! 🎉

Dear Windows, The box is literally called "Shut Down Windows". Why is the "Shut down" option not here? And why is it sometimes missing and sometimes not? Please just make the box do what it says, 100% of the time. Thank you, Every Windows user, probably

TIL you can create spaces on GitHub Copilot web: - Create a space on github.com/copilot/spaces - You can add repositories as context - Custom instructions You now have an internal AI assistant for internal packages, with company guidelines, etc.. And they can be shared org-wide!

Linus Benkner @linu.us · 16/07/2025
that's wild: you can assign Copilot to an issue on GitHub, and it will automatically create a PR to solve it. When it's done, you can review it and leave comments. Copilot then tries to fix them with new commits to the PR. Once you're happy, merge it. Worked great so far! 🔥

Very interesting to see how AI Coding Agents sometimes recover and fix errors the agent itself created, without human intervention. MCP servers and command line access are a game-changer for AI tools. They have superpowers now! 😄 #WeAreDevs

90% of code will be written by agents, to give developers time back to do the things they really like. But human developers will always be needed, we as developers have skills agents don‘t. „It‘s agents for the sake of happiness“ - Thomas Dohmke, GitHub CEO

That's what this extension is for: automatically hide and reject those banners. Very simple, but a huge UX upgrade to many websites. I'd love if you give it a try, it's totally free: ihatecookiebanners.com/ Found a cookie banner that doesn't get blocked yet? ✉️ Let me know!

In my opinion, most cookie banners shouldn't exist. They are disruptive, often pop up very delayed, and are designed to trick you into accepting *everything* - which is not allowed in the EU, btw. x.com/LinusBenkne...

Annoyed by all those Cookie Banners? Me too! I built a free Chrome Extension that automatically hides and rejects cookie banners. ✅ No disruption, you never see them ✅ Rejects optional services instead of accepting everything Install it for free 👉 ihatecookiebanners.com/

it's really simple to build one, if you're interested 👉 developer.chrome.com/docs/extens... keep in mind that it you might break the website for you, so be careful. if you encounter any issue with a website you modified, disable your extension first before filing a bug report.

2) our project management tool doesn't have hotkeys or a command bar, so I added one. with CMD+K I can now jump through the app faster than ever. huge timesaver. it also caches recently visited projects to be even faster. inspired by the github one: x.com/LinusBenkne...

1) the dashboard of one of the hosting companies we use shows the database connection details, but you need to copy and paste them in e.g. TablePlus. to make it easier, I have a chrome extension that adds a button to open it in TablePlus directly.

one of the many reasons it's great to be a developer: if you use a webapp and want to change something (e.g. modify the layout, add a button, ...), you can just build a local chrome extension and change it. highly recommend to try it out if you haven't yet few examples:

A year or so ago we built a simple API that generates a PDF of a given URL using a headless chromium instance. I always thought this is the worst way to generate a PDF and that there has to be a better solution, but now I see Cloudflare also does it, it feels much better 😂 x.com/kristianf_/...
