To the #runners in the Fediverse: Does anyone know of a simple metronome app that doesn't need a lot of permissions? A metronome app specifically for runners where you can set the duration and intensity (e.g. 1 min 180 BPM and 2 min 160 BPM)? Or are there #developers that can build something like that and put it on F-Droid? I have a simple Meteonome but there you can not set time and Intervalls.

GitHub boosts Copilot with agents, new models, and MCP support https://www.developer-tech.com/news/github-boosts-copilot-agents-new-models-and-mcp-support/ #github #copilot #agents #developers #coding #programming #llm #mcp #ai #tech #news #technology

DO NOT TEACH 'git add .' to new #programmers start working with #Git. This is so bad! Adding Subdirectories (including .) should not be accepted by the 'git add' command. I have seen so much shit over the years commited by junior devs not reviewing what they doing. It's not the fault of junior #developers but Gits and everyone who's teaching 'git add .' #programming

Yes, it is true!
It's Webinar Time!

... and we’re back with another ITSPmagazine Thought Leadership Webinar — because impactful conversations and meaningful perspective exchanges are what we’re all about.

After the success of our debut session “AI In Healthcare: Who Benefits, Who Pays, And Who’s At Risk?” (missed it? Watch it on demand https://www.crowdcast.io/c/ai-in-healthcare-who-benefits-who-pays-and-whos-at-risk-an-itspmagazine-thought-leadership-webinar-march-2025-3eeb9725b912) —we’re diving back in with a brand-new conversation focused on the heart of what drives our work: cybersecurity, technology, and society.

Secure Coding = Developer Power: How To Convince Your Boss To Invest In You An ITSPmagazine Webinar With Manicode Security April 16, 2025

We’re honored to welcome two brilliant minds joining Sean Martin, CISSP — yes, of course, he’s pretty sharp too — for this one:

Jim Manico, Founder and Secure Coding Educator at Manicode Security
Jimmy Mesta , Course Instructor for Manicode and CTO at RAD Security

Why does #securecoding still feel like an afterthought? This session tackles that question head-on—covering why most companies don’t invest in secure coding training, how developers can advocate for themselves, and how this skillset can seriously boost your career. We’ll even get into some live code reviews and automation demos you won’t want to miss.

Me, guarding my garbage code

When I see my two little ones in front of me while I’m enjoying #programming, the same song always comes to mind… Why Can’t We Be Friends? #Rust #RustLang #Go #GoLang #Developers #Coding #DeveloperLife

FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies https://thelibre.news/foss-infrastructure-is-under-attack-by-ai-companies/ Please boost for awareness, reach and to public shame Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, Perplexity and other such AI companies.

https://simonschreibt.de/gat/the-high-heel-problem/

“Different character body sizes mean a lot of extra work for game developers. […] But even if all characters have the same height, different shoes can influence the height of a character as well!” “This article looks at how different types of shoes can affect game development and examines how games deal with this in practice.”

Poll: #Developers of the #mastodon world please choose carefully:

PLEAS don't write ANY C or C++ code with any AI helper. Not only you have no guarantees that the code is memory safe, it has also learned from buggy code! BeingHackedAAS.

EDIT: fixed typos.

Mindset matters when pair programming…

Embrace :
 Empathy.
 Vulnerability.
 Compassion…

…And drop your ego

Be prepared:

 To be questioned.
 To make mistakes.
 To admit to not knowing things.

What else is needed to make pair programming work well?

Plotting browser support data in a catalog shows the evolution of the web platform in terms of number and availability of features.

The @w3c WebDX #CommunityGroup has completed a first nearly complete catalog of web features targeted at web #developers, along with support data across main #browsers. The catalog already powers @mdn, Can I use, and is now being integrated in tools and libraries.

Hey, #DevOps, #SRE and #Developers in general: what laptop would you recommend to a new hire as a business laptop?

It's highly appreciated that it works with Linux, but Mac it's also considered.
