tl;dr: “Becoming the Consequence does not mean you become a fixed point in time and space; it means that you demonstrate to the team that you understand what is essential to the health of the team, product, or process. It means you consistently and visibly reinforce this understanding. It means that when they tell you what’s wrong, you listen hard for the wisdom. It means when you find the wisdom, you adapt your plans. You do this over and over until what was a change in strategy becomes this is how we do this.” |

tl;dr: “Having a loose structure or framework can ensure you cover important ground. One effective format I’ve used is the classic “People, Product, Process” approach.” |

tl;dr: Auggie CLI now supports Agent Client Protocol (ACP), an open protocol that lets any client–Zed, neovim, etc.–communicate to software agents using a shared standard. With ACP, agents are now available in more surfaces, unlocking potential for innovation in developer tooling and giving you all of the power of Augment’s deep codebase knowledge and powerful software agent where you want to work. |

tl;dr: “This is one of my favorite and most often used frameworks. I use it for casual and formal feedback conversations, at work and at home, and any time I want to encourage positive behavior. It’s very simple: Before you speak, ask yourself, Is this strategy or self-expression?” |

tl;dr: “I haven’t yet seen a lot of practical examples on how to actually “engineer your prompts and context”. So, in today’s article, we are doing a step-by-step guide on how you can dynamically create your context and use it in a complex prompt.” |

tl;dr: If customers are asking for “Okta + auto-provisioning,” start here. It covers SSO vs. SCIM in human terms and includes the technical decisions you’ll need to make like: how to update your login flow, when to merge accounts, what endpoints you need to expose for SCIM, and easy-to-miss gotchas like verifying email domains. |

tl;dr: Kent explains the difference between isolation and composition in tests. Isolated tests stand alone, but composed tests work together to provide broader coverage with fewer, clearer tests. |

tl;dr: “The primary rule about technical writing is that almost none of your readers will pay much attention. Your readers will typically read the first sentence, skim the next one, and then either skim the rest or stop reading entirely. You should thus write as little as possible. If you can communicate your idea in a single sentence, do that - there’s a high chance that people will actually read it.” |

tl;dr: “I accidentally stumbled upon lazygit Git UI. I literally mistyped <space>gg instead of gg, which opened up the built-in lazygit overlay UI. A week later, I have already switched all my git workflows to lazygit, and I have been using it since then.” |
