When you work in a company, the company moves not with the speed of every individual. The company moves with the speed of the outcome that those individuals produce together. If I boost my individual productivity but I still wait two weeks between my milestone and the next person's milestone, it doesn't matter if I accomplish the task in one hour instead of one week.

SVAR React Gantt is a customizable, high-performance Gantt chart component written in React. It offers a developer-friendly API, full TypeScript support, React 19 compatibility, and flexible CSS styling. The component supports multiple task types, dependencies, custom time scales, and light/dark themes. It is designed to handle thousands of tasks efficiently (see demo with 10k tasks). Interactive, drag-and-drop interface allows users to add, edit, and organize tasks and dependencies directly on the timeline or through a simple task edit form.

One of the challenges teams face when working with large boards or displaying multiple fields on work item cards is limited screen space. This became even more noticeable with the rollout of the New Boards hub, which introduced additional spacing and padding for improved readability. While this enhances clarity, it can also reduce the number of cards visible at once.

The real cost of poor observability isn't just downtime; it's lost trust, wasted engineering hours, and the strain of constant firefighting. But most teams are still working across fragmented monitoring tools, juggling endless alerts, dashboards, and escalation systems that barely talk to one another, which acts like chaos disguised as control. The result is alert storms without context, slow incident response times, and engineers burned out from reacting instead of improving.

"I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue."

Scrum has a bad reputation in some organizations. In many cases, this is because teams did something they called Scrum, it didn't work, and Scrum took the blame. To counter this, when working with organizations, we like to define a small set of rules a team must follow if they want to say they're doing Scrum. Enforcing this policy helps prevent Scrum from being blamed for Scrum-like failures.

For decades, the to-do list has been a catalog of debt, a deceptively thin list of items to do, with icebergs of work hidden beneath the surface. AI transforms tasks to work that has already been done. Vibe Kanban, Gastown, & Conductor are the first instantiations of this for software developers. They have jargon-laden descriptions like "multi-agent orchestrator" or "visualizer," but they are, at heart, simple & beautiful Kanban boards of done & dusted work.

AI tools don't always boost productivity. A recent study from Model Evaluation and Threat Research found that when 16 software developers were asked to perform tasks using AI tools, the they took longer than when they weren't using the technology, despite their expectations AI would boost productivity. The research challenges the dominant narrative of AI driving a workplace efficiency boost.

Your AI pilot showed 94% accuracy improvements. The LLM is yielding solid results. You're getting defunded anyway. The reason? You solved a problem AI can solve. Your budget-holder needed you to solve theirs. Companies launch AI pilots that produce results, then stall at scale. The team's diagnosis: "They don't get it." What's really going on: These projects never earned budget-holder buy-in.

Custom agents in GitHub Copilot are tailored versions of the Copilot coding agent that you can define once to follow your own workflows, coding conventions, and tool preferences. They act like specialized teammates that consistently apply your team's standards instead of you repeating the same instructions each time. You configure custom agents using Markdown-based agent profiles that specify prompts, tools, and behaviors.

There's a palpable tension in IT today. Teams are stretched to their limits with a growing backlog of initiatives, while executives expect IT to lead the charge on transforming an organization into an AI-driven one. And the numbers paint a somber picture. IT teams are drowning in work as digital transformation projects have not slowed down but rather accelerated. In fact, IT project requests in 2025 jumped 18% compared to the year prior,

Clockwork is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that automatically tracks your work time based on git commits. It aggregates commits into worklog entries, calculates durations, and manages projects - all through a simple CLI interface. Automatic Commit Aggregation: Automatically collects commits since your last worklog entry Smart Duration Calculation: Estimates work time based on commit timestamps Project Management: Track multiple projects with associated git repositories
