Good devops practices make AI coding easier!
- tptacek 1y agoThis is one of the most exciting things about coding agents: they make a lot of tooling that was so tedious to use it was impractical now ultra relevant. I wrote a short post about this a few weeks ago, the idea that things like "Semgrep" are now super valuable where they were kind of marginal before agents.
