What Happened: GitHub’s Cloud-Based Agent Drafts PRs Autonomously GitHub announced a major new capability for Copilot: GitHub has unveiled a significant upgrade to Copilot during Microsoft Build 2025: a cloud-based coding agent capable of drafting and iterating on pull requests directly within GitHub. While previous Copilot experiences focused on in-editor assistance via VSCode, this new agent runs asynchronously in the cloud, leveraging an infrastructure similar to GitHub Actions. Microsoft Build 2025 Developers can now assign tasks directly via GitHub or VSCode: > @github Open a pull request to refactor this query generator into its own class > @github Open a pull request to refactor this query generator into its own class The Copilot agent handles tasks autonomously: creating branches, iterating on PRs based on code review comments, and updating commits until the work is accepted - all without touching protected branches. Crucially, existing CI pipelines, branch protections, and review workflows remain intact, ensuring “trust by design.” With the addition of MCP, developers can even grant the agent access to external tools and data by configuring servers directly in the repository settings. This abstracts us from the actual implementation and allows us to focus on describing the tasks. This aligns with Codex Agents and others providing compute for the agents to run and do the coding. It also resonated with the broader movement toward headless agents - those that run independently, complete tasks, and report back when work is ready for review. Community Reactions: Awe, Caution, Fears, and Questions. Personally, using GitHub Copilot Agent was an enjoyable experience when asking to perform low-level tasks. I had a ‘wow’ moment when I performed typical GitHub actions directly inside the PR (or via VSCode’s chat bar). It was impressively fast, and the developer experience felt spot on. When digging into the community’s reaction, we found Copilot’s coding agent showing a mix of excitement, curiosity, and healthy skepticism. “Time-saving” was the common praise. Users liked that the agent’s draft PR and log let them see exactly what was happening, and that they retained the choice of when/if to merge. Similar to my experience, users shared they found Copilot to perform well with low-level tasks. To which GitHub’s Product Lead for Copilot coding agent replied: A portion of the community also shared a fear that by offloading coding to AI, human work might devolve into janitorial oversight: filing detailed JIRA tickets all day and rubber-stamping AI-generated code. Also, users expressed concern about what this means for junior devs. The GitHub CEO’s take on this is: take In an age where some claim that more AI means fewer opportunities for entry level devs, I believe the opposite is true. There has never been a more exciting time to join our industry. In an age where some claim that more AI means fewer opportunities for entry level devs, I believe the opposite is true. There has never been a more exciting time to join our industry. In an age where some claim that more AI means fewer opportunities for entry level devs, I believe the opposite is true. There has never been a more exciting time to join our industry. Building on that concern, security and policy questions were also raised. For example, could the agent inadvertently expose sensitive information, such as including a secret key in a PR? Adding to the complexity, some developers pointed out that the benefits of using AI agents don’t come for free. You only truly reap the rewards if you invest effort upfront; e.g, writing a good issue description with clear acceptance criteria. Enjoy being informed about the AI Native Development space (AIND)?

AIND community, a crisp one-pager newsletter by 7,000+ AI tinkerers every week The AIND Take: Abstracting Grunt Work and Developing New Habits GitHub is evolving into an AI-enhanced development platform. Much like the historic growth of Actions Marketplace, we can expect a spike in tools within Copilot Extensions, making Copilot more powerful and covering more aspects of the development workflow. Actions Marketplace Copilot Extensions Drawing an analogy from history, this feels akin to the DevOps revolution or the shift to cloud/serverless computing: mundane infrastructure work is abstracted away, enabling developers to focus on higher-level logic. Similarly, the Copilot agent can abstract away a chunk of grunt work. It’s also a new skill: prompting and supervising AI in coding. Just as CI/CD and cloud led to new roles, AI agents could lead to new roles like “AI orchestration engineer”. I suspect we’ll see AI-native startups experimenting more and more with having multiple agents collaborate. One use case we believe in is the use of task-dependent agents: one agent could generate code while another reviews it, or one agent specializes in front-end and another in back-end, coordinating through issues and PRs. GitHub’s infrastructure could support this kind of multi-agent workflow, especially as MCP allows chaining different AI services. From a developer’s perspective, to prepare for this AI-centric future, there are a few concrete steps we’d recommend when playing with Copilot’s Agent. First, writing clear, detailed task/issue/PR descriptions with acceptance criteria will become a valuable skill. It’s a good practice even for human collaborators, but for AI, it’s very relevant. This helps build the muscle of communicating with machines about code intent. very intent Second, invest in tests. The prospect of an AI agent that relies on tests to know it didn’t break things is a strong incentive. High test coverage can turn the agent into a reliable contributor, while low coverage turns it into a serious risk. Strengthening your automated tests and CI pipelines can help position your projects to benefit more fully from AI involvement. The end-game is to become comfortable letting the AI draft something, and you guiding/refining it. In this new era, the developers who thrive will be those who embrace specifications-centric development, guiding AI with precision, shaping code, and validating it with tests.

The One Profession Where Being a Jack of All Trades Is the Key to Success

Why Smart Committed Couples Have an "Open Phone" Policy

I can't help but roll my eyes every time I hear about how exorbitantly priced the SEO industry has become. It's downright absurd! Seriously, $1000 for an SEO audit? Come on! Are we supposed to believe that it takes some mystical wizardry to audit a website? Anyone with half a brain and a bit of time can audit a website in less than an hour. It's really not rocket science. Let's break this down. What does an SEO audit entail? Checking for broken links, analyzing site speed, reviewing meta tags, evaluating keyword usage, and maybe a few more technical details. There are plenty of free tools out there that can do this for you in a jiffy. Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Ahrefs, and even Screaming Frog—these are just a few examples of tools that make the process ridiculously simple. But no, the SEO industry wants to convince you that you need their "expertise" to navigate these waters. They come up with fancy jargon and overly complicated reports to make it seem like they are doing something extraordinarily complex. It's a classic case of creating a problem to sell the solution. The truth is, most of what they do can be learned through a few hours of research and a bit of hands-on experience. And let's not forget the SEO "gurus" who charge an arm and a leg for their so-called expertise. Many of them don't have any special knowledge; they're just good at selling themselves. They perpetuate this myth that SEO is some kind of dark art, only understandable by the chosen few. It's infuriating because it exploits businesses, especially small ones that don't have massive marketing budgets. The irony is that the basics of SEO haven't changed much over the years: create valuable content, ensure your site is user-friendly, and build quality backlinks. Sure, algorithms get updated, and there are always new trends, but the core principles remain the same. There's nothing that justifies the exorbitant prices these firms charge. What really grinds my gears is the fear-mongering. These SEO companies prey on the fear of losing out on Google rankings. They throw around terms like "penalties" and "algorithm changes" to scare businesses into thinking they need to shell out big bucks to stay afloat. It's predatory and unethical. And let's talk about the long-term contracts. Many SEO firms lock clients into six-month or year-long contracts with the promise of gradual improvements. They bank on the fact that SEO results take time, but often, they don't do anything substantial after the initial audit and a few tweaks. Clients end up paying thousands of dollars for marginal gains they could have achieved on their own. It's high time businesses wised up to this racket. The absurdity of paying for links Don't even get me started on the absurdity of paying for links. It's like the wild west out there with these so-called "link-building services" charging outrageous amounts of money to place a hyperlink on some random, low-quality blog. Seriously, $150 for a link on a site with a domain rating (DR) of just 20? Are they serious? It's daylight robbery, plain and simple. The entire concept of paying for links is fundamentally flawed. It's built on the idea that you need these links to boost your SEO, which is true to some extent. But let's be honest here: paying through the nose for links from mediocre sites is a scam. These services prey on businesses' desperation to improve their rankings, promising them the moon and delivering dust. Here's a reality check: you can find over 30 places to build great editorial links right now for free. It just takes a bit of effort and genuine outreach. Write quality content, network with industry peers, and engage in real, value-driven collaborations. You don't need to drop hundreds or even thousands of dollars on links that might not even have any significant impact. And then there are those paid guest posting services. What a joke! Some of these services are charging over 90% more than what they actually pay to secure those guest post spots. It's a massive markup for doing what? Sending a few emails and making a couple of phone calls? It's highway robbery, and it needs to stop. These companies often operate under the guise of "premium" services, but the truth is, most of them are just middlemen looking to make a quick buck. They overcharge for placements on subpar sites, and the links they provide are often from blogs with little to no real traffic or engagement. It's a classic case of quantity over quality, and it's businesses that suffer the consequences. The worst part is that paying for links is against Google's guidelines. It's a risky game to play, and the penalties can be severe. If you're caught buying links, your site's rankings can plummet, and recovering from a penalty is a long and arduous process. It's simply not worth the risk or the expense. What businesses need to understand is that there are ethical and effective ways to build links. Focus on creating valuable, shareable content that naturally attracts links. Build relationships within your industry and collaborate with reputable sites. Participate in relevant forums and communities where you can share your expertise and link back to your site. In the end, the best links are those that are earned, not bought. They come from genuine engagement and providing real value to your audience. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you need to pay exorbitant amounts for links to succeed in SEO. It's a myth perpetuated by those looking to profit off your hard-earned money. Educate yourself, use the free tools available, and take control of your SEO. It might take a bit of effort initially, but it's far more empowering and cost-effective in the long run. Don't fall for the overpriced hype. SEO isn't some arcane science—it's a skill you can master with a bit of dedication and common sense.
