Happy to share the first release of PlanAI Editor - a new visual tool for the PlanAI framework!

PlanAI Editor provides a graphical interface to visually build, manage, and execute complex AI workflows. Drag & drop nodes, configure tasks (compute & LLM), export to runnable Python code, and even import existing PlanAI modules.

Explore the project: https://github.com/provos/planaieditor/ (or just run it with pip install planaieditor && planaieditor)

Request for help: I would like to integrate Monaco Editor (used here) with a Python LSP for better code intelligence. I tried and miserably failed. If you've tackled this before, I would definitely appreciate help with this!

We’ve put the Go parallel test suite strategy to work at @Fleet —splitting Go tests into named groups and running them in parallel with GitHub Actions. It’s made our CI faster, our feedback loops tighter, and our devs a lot happier!

Give it a try and see the impact on your own CI pipeline!

New issue of the Developer Science Review is out, folks! My article choice and annotation is pretty dang personal for this one, where I ask the question:

"For whom does intellectual humility become disadvantageous?"

Thanks in advance for reading and (I hope!) sharing your thoughts, reactions & experiences.

How AI Agents Are Quietly Transforming Frontend Development, by @TheNewStack:

Platform.sh and Upsun docs just got smarter.

Both are now llms.txt compatible—giving AI models structured, respectful access while keeping control in human hands.

This is about future-friendly documentation, better indexing, and transparency by design.

I’m still wary that many people in #DeveloperExperience confuse feeling fast with actually being fast https://jchyip.medium.com/what-does-speed-mean-in-software-product-delivery-9bc95c1c36c3

I have now installed and tested Authentik for CoreUnit.NET. So far I am satisfied. Keycloak, dex and other IDP's made me dissatisfied in some steps. As a developer I just dont like the container image taging, please use semver so I can pin major/minor versions.

AI is moving fast—don’t get left behind! Our latest post digs into code completion, code generation, summarizing/explaining code, and agentic coding. See how to harness these tools to supercharge your dev workflow in 2025
