A 3-person platform team runs CI for a 600+ project Nx monorepo. With Nx Agents on Nx Cloud they: - maintain half the CI config and don't re-shard as new projects land - trust the cache again, thanks to task sandboxing How @WeAreLegora got there: nx.dev/blog/legora-success-s…

Absolutely crazy that these two GitHub Actions which were quarantined could be reactivated with the malware still armed. Many of the these workflows run on a cron without any true repository activity trigging them.
🚨 Two GitHub Actions compromised in May’s Mini Shai-Hulud campaign are running malware again. The repositories were re-enabled with malicious release tags intact, putting thousands of downstream repositories at risk. socket.dev/blog/mini-shai-hu…

I don’t know why we keep shipping shit that helps people spend less money with us…
Given the current explosion of PRs, distribution on CI is a must. But when hundreds of tasks spread across machines it can get tricky to stay on top of what needs your attention. Now you can, introducing the new Timeline View. nx.dev/blog/nx-cloud-timelin…

Haven't tweeted in weeks. I've been heads down with my team on some key improvements to Nx Cloud. The result: the same workload needs less than 50% of compute than traditional CI (compute is a polite word for $$$), and it runs much faster. #monorepos @NxDevTools

We've got some huge CI performance features coming to Nx Cloud soon, but @victorsavkin won't let me talk about them yet, so all I can do is tweet this censored graphic of one feature.

With AI being non-deterministic and pushing 10x the amount of code, enforcing consistency is more important than ever. Custom code generators can be one mechanism to counter that: - more token-efficient - deterministic - let AI agents create & run them nx.dev/blog/agent-extract-nx…

Finally another CEO with style; it was getting lonely.
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

You can now use the new, official @NxDevTools generator from @AWS to generate a CopilotKit app on top of Bedrock.

Hey web dev friends, what are the standout issues you have when it comes to your CI? Slowness? Complexity? Flakiness? Curious about things you’ve solved and haven’t solved yet.

Git gives you the WHAT. Your session can now give you the WHY.

Imagine my disappointment when I rolled out of bed and ran to my front porch this morning expecting my new dry erase markers, only to find an empty porch (except for a stray cat).

Full end-to-end type safety across tech stacks is a dream for many developers. @EnderAgent makes it look easy. In his latest article, he shows how to achieve full-stack type safety in an Nx monorepo hosting a .NET WebAPI with a JavaScript frontend. nx.dev/blog/dotnet-openapi-t…
