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. 🧵

Automate repository tasks with GitHub Agentic Workflows
Build automations using coding agents in GitHub Actions to handle triage, documentation, code quality, and more.

Reaction to "Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI" article are kinda fascinating.

Reddit/HN is all like "haha, AI produces low quality code" or "that must be lie".

Meanwhile I'm sitting here just dispatching agents for 90% of my coding.

After some *checks notes* umm.. 6 years, I released a new version of my composable data visualization library, adding support for images! compostjs.github.io/compost/demo...

I still think this is the best way of doing composable data visualizations. See the paper: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

ClawBot (or whatever it’s called tonight) is just the beginning.

AI grifters will unleashed wave of agents for non-tech people, that will have 0 security, 0 control tools on what agents can do and will just spam all our communication channels, destroy trust and make our life worse.

I’m a believer in usefulness of AI but shit like this GitHub issue (and follow up) is just disgusting.

Being FP developer was way more intellectually honest than being in AI space. No one was celebrating grift and hype over actual results and research.

As a person with a liberal arts education, I’m egotistically biased to strong agree with this.

But legit my whole day is just doing tons of critical thinking, meta thinking, and design thinking - the kind I learned in my crunchy lib arts school - in order to decide what to prompt the bots to make

Marx isn't just mildly disagreeing with the Luddites, he's saying their machine-breaking actively gave reactionary governments a pretext for repression. It was strategically counterproductive on top of being analytically wrong.

I guess this is my "why we will always need people in software development and AI can't replace them all" manifest

Operating system is kinda easy to imagine, there are plenty of those laying around. To a degree it's solved problem

And yet the best value/quality combo on the market is OpenCode with Copilot subscription
"Earlier, all devs used GitHub Copilot.

9 months ago, we rolled out Cursor to all devs.

1.5 weeks ago, we rolled out Claude Code to everyone, and cancelled our Copilot subscription"

- CTO at a company with 600 engineers

(I hear this exact "transition" story, a LOT!)

You're telling me the AGI grifters, who are willing to give an LLM based agent that manufactures scenarios and is easily compromised unfettered access to their computer and sensitive data, don't understand basic security principles?! You don't say!
