In Kody, you can have skills, but even better is documented utilities. It's basically a skill + a tool. Resulting in a much more reliable and repeatable outcome. Here's the code that lives in Kody and it's what agents get when they search for "merge a pull request" Related

What if the Linear agent were to review every single code change and automatically merge those that are deemed relatively safe to land and don't introduce any regressions. Would that be of interest? Related
Anyone from @1Password here? Your extension is making Linear slower and can't have that. We'd want to dynamically enable/disable the extension via data-1p-ignore on body, but you extensions reads it only once at page load and not continuously. Fix possible? Related

Agents 🤝 @linear Linear documents are just documents meant for writing down things. Projects, issues, views and other entities have different types. I think the structure makes it easier for both agents and humans alike to use the right one. Quoting @faruk_parhat Our coding agents did something interesting… We are both a @NotionHQ and @linear shop, but over time our coding agents seem to have preferred writing docs in Linear over Notion (since they were already creating tickets). And this kind of natural bias and proclivity of coding agents toward Linear sl… Related

I'm working on phase 2 of Project Improve Git's documentation and I need beta readers! Here's a signup form: https://forms.gle/swn1jhCULndnCxG87 The first topic is going to the docs on merge conflicts.

Now we know: The popular Ox Alpha LLM was GLM-5.3-Flash... Compared to GLM-5.2, this new GLM-5.3-Flash model uses: - a Kimi Linear-style 3:1 (super*) hybrid attention pattern with 34 Kimi Delta Attention layers (KDA) and 11 Multi-heat Latent Attention (MLA) / DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) layers; - a scaled-down GLM-5.2-style sparse MoE backbone, going from 744B-A40B to 320B-A18B; - a DeepSeek V4-style mHC residual path with four parallel streams; - plus a native vision encoder (not shown). * "Super hybrid" because both KDA and MLA/DSA are "efficient" components.

Linear Diffs has been a joy to use, but one detail I like about the merge queue specifically is that the little icon on the left animates subtly. It made me smile the first time I saw it.

Marketing grows only as fast as you can improve marketing. We all know that's quite hard actually. It's linear. It's hard to find new channels that aren't trivial. Like, it's hard. Of course, we're going to do it, but like it it's hard. Whereas, cancellations grow automatically as you grow, right? So, cancellations always overtake marketing for this reason.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
