GitLens 12.1 - Richer GitLab Integration and Improved Autolinks

We are proud to introduce the world to the most recent release of GitLens. We have added richer GitLab integration, Gerrit support, the ability to reorder your commits when making an interactive rebase, and more. We can’t wait for you to read all about what’s new in GitLens 12.1!

Tech Ops is a mess. Here's why we're committed to fixing it.

Building software is hard. Building cloud software is even harder because things move much faster — and require mission-critical reliability and availability. To effectively build software in the cloud, engineering teams need observability, CI/CD, reporting, and lots of tooling. At every organization I’ve worked at, we’ve needed a system of tools that lets us: But all the tools available to engineering teams never quite fit together with our specific processes.

Trusted Device Authentication 101

Suppose you have to use your phone or other devices frequently, and you don’t want to type your password every time you wish to access an application. By implementing Trusted Device authentication, your system will recognize the device’s authentication and help you log in to the application quickly and safely. The whole process will not only save your time but will also allow you to witness an advanced authentication procedure.

Reducing Toil with Developer Collaboration Tools

Ask any engineer what they’d like to eliminate from their daily to-do list, and the answer will almost certainly be some version of reducing toil. Engineering organizations can burn hours and hours of work time on repetitive, manual tasks that reduce bandwidth for high-impact projects. That being the case, it’s no surprise that reducing toil helps your team work more productively and experience better job satisfaction in the long run.

All things you should know to be a Meeting Master

While meetings are part of today's organizations, they can also bring some frustration preventing one from scratching its TODO list. It can be a good idea to try to promote asynchronous mediums such as Notion pages, Slack channels, etc. This page aims to bring some insights regarding WHEN / WHY holding or not a meeting.

How to Set up a Jenkins CI/CD Pipeline for Your Golang App

Bringing the best software solutions to market as quickly as possible requires using automation to facilitate repetitive tasks (e.g., testing) so you can spend more time writing high-quality code. This is one of the main reasons why today’s top-performing dev teams build continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery or continuous deployment (CD) pipelines, which enable them to ship new releases faster.
