#FOSS remains well founded. What is not included are obligations to:
- have comm channels
- review issues submitted by others
- review and accept/maintain contributions
Ability to disable PRs is recognition maintainers deserve the right to not engage w/ users and still abide to principles of FOSS.

"Are we using AI for building Hardwood? Absolutely. Is Hardwood vibe-coded? Absolutely not."
Coding agents are incredibly powerful, but they're no magic wand. Sharing some experiences with using AI for building a relatively low-level code base like a Parquet parser in the #Hardwood announcement ๐.
@brunoborges.bsky.social shares how AI agents translated an entire website into 8 languages overnight. A practical look at automation and multilingual content deployment.

GA status matter more than version because it is the agreed commitment between customer (user) and vendor (maintainer).
And I am not here to change your mind, but to explain to you what customers tell us.
"I can't use this tool because it is not GA."
Well that excuse has expired today.
#CopilotCLI is now generally available, and it is here to stay.
I translated a site into 8 languages in one night using a fleet of @github.com Copilot Agents powered by Claude Sonnet 4.6.
112 code patterns ร 8 locales = 896 translation files. 6 agents running in parallel. All PRs merged within ~1 hour. One bug total.
dev.to/brunoborges/...
Which is why I added a feature for users to report translation errors.
I know it won't perfect. But it is a great head start!
#Java Evolved website now has localization #i18n in eight (8) languages besides English.
All translations done in a few hours with Claude Sonnet 4.6 using fleet of agents in #Copilot.

What has not changed:
- Software remains a need.
- System architecture remains foundational.
What has changed:
- Code became a commodity.
- SDLC became agentic.
Stop writing #YAML. Start using natural language for @github.com Actions!
Watch me and @cassidoo.co deep dive into #AgenticWorkflows in this week' s Rubber Duck Thursday, to learn how to safely automate repo tasks without risk of prompt injections.

One thing people are not talking about enough is Switching Cost in this battle between Anthropic and OpenAI.
The S.C. is ZERO.
People will choose whatever model is better and cheaper.

AI agents can now step through code with real debuggers instead of relying on logs. @brunoborges.bsky.social shows how this changes debugging workflows and makes AI coding assistants more effective.

#Java #AI #Debugging
CICD platforms (e.g. GitHub Actions) have a billing based on hours running tasks.
Consider using anything other than Python (unless you optimized with CPython!).
Here is how I am running @jbangdev in the #JavaEvolved website:
github.com/javaevolved/...
Also, benchmark!
JDK has a CLI debugger; AI agents have terminal access. Why are they still debugging with println?
Let agents set breakpoints, step through code, inspect variables, catch exceptions. No logging/compile. Just a real debugger.

I'd appreciate if coding agents would have a system instruction for preventing people from reinventing the wheel.
Like, "do you really want to build this thing instead of just reusing project <insert open source tool the dev didn't know existed and was too lazy to search>?"

> The ease of creation often adds a burden to the maintainer because there is an imbalance of benefit.
