up until recently, there was a very real tradeoff between delivery velocity and stability shipping fast meant monitoring new deployments really closely fast forward to 2026, and we have a new environment “stack” that developers and agents move with, not around

now you can schedule your #ClaudeCode tasks to repeat on a loop devs are finding this super valuable for PR babysitting: tell Claude to watch your PRs, react to build logs, and resolve any issues brought up in the comments

Claude tokens == NLP tokens these are the smallest units of text that LLMs use to process input/generate output (1 token = 1 word, 1 subword, or 1 letter, depending on your model)

there isn’t exactly a wrong choice for a container registry, but how to eval which is right for you? - use the CR bundled with your cloud/git ecosystem - OSS vs. proprietary: both $$ in different ways - artifact support (OCI, helm, AI model) - vuln scanning/IAM

engineering teams are improving their #ClaudeCode workflows every day. but CC can test its own work autonomously a feature might take ~10 tweaks to get right, most obvious after running simple smoke/UI tests give agents access to real infra so that they can self-verify + iterate

some tasks are too complex for @claudeai subagents. that's where #multiagent orchestrators come in, allowing a lead coding agent to delegate tasks and spawn agents as needed in this post, we take a quick look at Gas Town and Multiclaude ⬇️

#claudecode has always stood out for its filesystem + ops capabilities. in fact, CC is a CLI-based agent for anything, not just coding they built a solid UI on top of Claude Code’s foundation to make a tool for file-related work, called Claude Cowork

engineering teams spend so much time during the year talking about dev productivity. dec is a difficult time to keep those metrics up anyway. why not use the holiday stretch to catch up on your skills + learn new things?

AI #agents alone are pretty capable, but #MCP servers extend what they can accomplish as a dev, you’ll want to connect your tools to your agent via MCP to handle more types of tasks

we’ve got some HUGE news: the Shipyard #MCP server is now in open beta! use it for: ✅ writing + improving #E2E tests ✅ sandboxing #agent workflows ✅ live, in-depth code reviews we’re looking for user feedback, so reach out with any questions/comments 👀

why should agents get to do all the fun parts of software dev, like writing code? #ClaudeCode has a feature that allows you to make agentic dev more active: it assigns you programming tasks and reviews your work. agent pair programming keeps you in the driver’s seat 👍

the @playwright.dev #MCP server boosts #DevEx with agents like #ClaudeCode and #GeminiCLI: they can interact with your app live "hey Claude, take screenshots of my login form flow: with regular sign in, then with GitHub, and another with Google OAuth"

is your staging env showing up in search? this is pretty common, esp if you carry the same site config from prod to staging keep users away from your untested, WIP features: 1. 🔄 robots.txt 2. 🗑️ staging sitemap.xml 3. canonical ➡️ prod 4. HTTP auth 5. request🗑️Google

shipping faster doesn't necessarily mean you're in a better place, esp when you don't have the right processes/pipelines how can you keep a good dev pace while being confident your code is bug-free? join Benjie and Erin at #DPESummit in SF and find out! @gradle.com #DevEx #DX

we put claude code to the ultimate test: writing #E2E tests ✅ took some trial and error, but we got the best results from directing CC to use test-driven development not surprising, as human devs often have the same experience with #TDD

how do ephemeral envs prevent 🔥s in staging + prod? 1. they're isolated: they don't share services/data with other envs, so bug blast radius is contained 2. they shift test/review left: find + resolve bugs before they hit staging/prod build more, firefight less! #DevOps

trunk-based dev is a rapid git dev model: commits are pushed/integrated directly into the trunk, sans PRs/MRs why? 🔘 merge conflicts-- 🔘 cognitive load-- 🔘 quality software++ going from a branching model to TBD is no small feat. it takes a combo of automation + teamwork: @dora.dev #DevOps

one of the many reasons we ❤️ Docker Compose? it makes test env management easy use it during dev, use it as an app def for a deployment, and use it to keep config consistent for every env in between #DevOps #Docker @docker.com
