Now, agents run autonomously across thousands of repos in the background. This trend is already in motion at companies like Stripe, who recently published about their Minions platform, Ramp, and Spotify.

Might want to do a bit of research around Theia and Gitpod before declaring it a fork ;)

I have been working on something new - a fun way to learn the Go programming language.

Let them know I’d be happy to help! We typically support 0 downtime maintenance so curious where they are stuck.

I love everything about this! Thanks for sharing!

We wrote our own agent! It does not currently support spec kit...should we add it?

There is an environment variable (GOMAXPROCS) that you can set which determines how many threads your go program will use simultaneously... 🧵

Cup o' Go | 🪖 Gab's Notes on this week's Go news and an interview with Matt Boyle of Ona and ByteSizeGo Thanks Gabriel Augendre for guest co-hosting this episode!Visit cupogo.dev for all the links.🔬 A new experimental Go API for JSON🧾 2025 Go Developer Survey🥸 Test state, not interactions by Redowan😴...

People are often surprised that both Ona (formerly Gitpod) agents and our platform are built in Go, not Python.

The advantages are real, and I think we’ll see more and more companies making the same choice.

I talk about this (and a lot more) on the latest episode of the Cup O’ Go podcast.

For most of us, garbage collection is something we have heard of but never need to pay attention to.However, one of the reasons Go is so efficient and easy to learn is due to its excellent GC. 🧵

This weekend I vibe coded a tool where you can check if sites were created by vibe coding so you can judge other sites for vibe coding whilst you vibe code.

Here's a thread with a brief history of dependency management in Go.

For those of you newer to Go, it might surprise you to know that go modules was not always part of the language. When Go launched in 2009, it did not have any dependency management solution as Google had no need for one.

Best Practices - Ona Documentation Best practices for using Ona environments, agents, and guardrails effectively in your development workflow.

We sometimes struggle to position Ona, as we built it for parallelism to be at the core of everything you do and you have to feel it to "get it".

Our CTO Chris has put together a best practise guide for how to use our platform to get maximum productivity without trading off security.

errGroups are probably my favourite Go package.

errGroup makes it really easy to take a bunch of tasks and run them in parallel, making your program faster. They do this whilst keeping your code readable.

Here's an example of one of my most common use-cases I asked chatGPT to generate.

I have seen many complex setups and memes about people being able to use Claude Code on the go. Ona Cloud uses Sonnet 4 under the hood, and because our platform is cloud-native, handing off from Laptop to phone is as simple as just going to app.ona.com.

In search for parallel flow | Ona (formerly Gitpod) Software engineering moves from deep mono-focused work to highly parallel multi-tasking. Interfaces need to pave the way.

"We need new interfaces, new tools that embrace parallelism"

Read more about how we designed Ona for parrallism to be at the core (link below)

You have probably heard of gRPC if you haven't used it. It is particularly popular for inter-service communication due to its efficiency, language agnostic nature and support out of the box for things like MTLS.

Here's a really simple example of how you can get started with gRPC 🧵

We have a Slack channel, #so-many-demos, where we share quick Loom or CleanShot demos of ideas.

These demos might not ship, but they spark early sharing and experimentation. With AI making demos nearly free, the goal is clear: create more.

SuperWispr remains my favorite AI tool to date.
It makes every single one of my workflows faster.

Really cool to see Ona mentioned alongside great companies such as OpenAI, Cursor and AMP

When working on Ona, we were very tempted to introduce our own standard for Agent Rules, but the old XKCD on standards came to mind.

AGENTS.md just makes sense!
