🚀 DevFlow is evolving — and this update is a big one. When I started building DevFlow, the goal was simple: Make developer consistency visible and rewarding. Now, it’s getting closer to that vision. ⚔️ A structured rank system (E → S tiers) 📊 XP progression based on real work 🔗 GitHub integration — your commits now count 📈 NEW: Contribution graph + weekly, monthly, yearly time tracking You can now see your effort — not just feel it. Still in beta, still improving every day. But the system is starting to take shape. If you're someone who values consistency over shortcuts, this is for you. 🌐 Try it: https://lnkd.in/dr9nx6Uf BuildInPublic #DevFlow #Developers #Productivity #GitHub #StartupJourney

Vibe coding is a $3-4.5 billion market in 2026. Non-technical user adoption grew 520% year-over-year. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, v0, and Bolt.new platform comparison inside.

We attended SusHacks hackathon at VIIT and built a project in 24 hours — DraftPilot. The problem we saw: When a developer raises a PR, reviewers don’t just check code. They have to understand the whole context — what changed, why, is it correct, is it safe, is it complete. That means going through multiple files, diffs, and conversations… every single time. It’s slow and mentally draining. So we built DraftPilot. Just paste a GitHub PR link → get everything clearly: → PR description → File-by-file breakdown (what changed & why) → Review brief (where to focus) → Gaps & risks → Non-technical summary → Merge checklist → Strength check Live Here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gWw6xpkw by the way i only used free api, tokens are limited per day. While presenting, a judge told us: “This already exists. Have you heard of CodeRabbit?” We hadn’t. Instead of defending, we researched. That’s when we realized — tools like CodeRabbit focus on code quality, but we focused on understanding the PR as a whole. That became our edge. We didn’t win. But we learned something more important: 👉 Don’t just build ideas 👉 Find what existing products are missing — and build that Built with Next.js, Gemini Flash API, and GitHub REST API. 24 hours. Real learning. Big shoutout to my teammates —Sravani K , Dinesh Chitturu, and Akash Tamarapalli for making this happen 🙌 #hackathon #buildinpublic #nextjs #geminiai #developers #webdev #pullrequest #github #opensource

Is your workflow ready for Agentic Mode? 🚀💻 The era of simple autocomplete is over. We’re moving into the age of Vibe Coding, where the focus shifts from writing syntax to directing intent. I’m excited to share a major new resource for the developer community: "Vibe Coding with GitHub Copilot" by Fransesco Malila. This book is a deep dive into the full GitHub ecosystem, showing you how to move beyond basic chat and master Agent Mode for autonomous task execution. What makes this guide stand out: ✅ Mastering multi-file Edits and Agent Mode. ✅ Using MCP (Model Context Protocol) to extend Copilot to your databases. ✅ Deep integration with GitHub Actions, Security, and Codespaces. ✅ Honest comparisons with tools like Cursor and Claude Code. Whether you are a seasoned engineer or just starting out, this is the manual for the next generation of software development.

GitHub Copilot is a pair programmer that suggests code snippets and full functions in real time inside your editor. It reads the surrounding code and comments to autocomplete patterns, draft unit tests, scaffold endpoints, and handle repetitive glue work. Best for developers who want to move faster and cut boilerplate without breaking flow. Use it to spike features, explore unfamiliar APIs, and standardize routine code. Guide it with clear function names and comments, review suggestions like any pull request, and keep security checks in place for critical paths. #GitHubCopilot #PairProgramming #DevTools

Been using Claude Code and GitHub Copilot for a while now — at work and for personal projects — and the combination is genuinely good once you understand how to use them properly. One thing that changed the game for me is the Superpowers repository — it’s also available as an official plugin directly in the Claude Code marketplace. It comes with a set of predefined skills like brainstorming, writing plans, TDD, debugging, and subagent-driven development that just trigger automatically — you don’t have to do anything special. As soon as it sees you’re building something, it doesn’t jump into writing code. It steps back and asks what you’re really trying to do. That shift in behaviour is huge. And here’s the thing most people miss — writing code is actually the last step. The real heavy lifting is the planning. A well-structured plan markdown file, created through solid brainstorming, means even a lighter model can write good code from it. But if the plan is weak, even the best model won’t save you. Superpowers Skills handle exactly this part — the brainstorm → plan → implement flow — and it works. On top of that, I’ve started building my own custom Skills for specific use cases in my projects — things like documentation generation, commit intelligence, and test case flows — some of which are generic enough that any developer could plug them into real-world projects. If you’re using Claude Code or Copilot and haven’t looked at Superpowers yet, worth checking out 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g_GDMCqX #ClaudeCode #GitHubCopilot #Superpowers #AITools #DeveloperProductivity #SoftwareDevelopment #CodingSkills #AIAssistedDevelopment #ShipFaster #DevTools #OpenSource #AgenticAI #BuildInPublic #100xDeveloper #TechLinkedIn

GitHub Copilot Coding Agents are reshaping real sprint workflows. This is not the old autocomplete story. This is a look at what happens when an agent can take an issue, write the code, run the tests, and open the pull request. If you are curious about how agentic workflows actually work in practice or what this means for the future of engineering, you can read it here: https://zurl.co/KLCsB #GithubCopilotCLI
