Kivy – a cross platform Python UI framework
Kivy led to one of my first open source contributions in 2014. I submitted Kivy file support to Vim. It was done via patch diffs over email with Bram Moolenaar. It's still in Vim today[1].
RIP Bram.

How to use Angular 20 experimental Vitest support outside of ng test
So, I had to test this new version in a personal project to learn how to use all these new things along with other technologies and tools I’ve used for a long time and also love, like VSCode, ESLint, Prettier, and a bunch of other. And I did, but there’s a catch which makes the whole “experimental” thing have more sense: you can only use this through ng test.

6 Reasons CLI Coding Agents Are the Future of Software Development
A text-based shell interface is extremely lightweight compared to modern IDEs. Because it runs in the terminal, even a feature-rich agent has very low overhead. According to Forgecode “Low Resource Usage: minimal impact on system performance”. In contrast, a full IDE can consume hundreds of megabytes of RAM or more, even when idle. In one user benchmark, Neovim (a terminal editor) used only about 10 MB of RAM, whereas Visual Studio Code (an Electron-based IDE) used roughly 700 MB with no files open. The savings add up quickly: even a hundred developers using shell agents could free up many gigabytes of memory compared to the same number running heavy IDE instances. In practice, a shell agent like Forge leaves almost all CPU and RAM free for your code compilation and tests. In a cloud or CI/CD pipeline, this efficiency translates directly into cost savings. You can run more parallel analyses or smaller instances when the tools are light. Over time, those saved resources mean lower infrastructure bills for large teams.

Against this backdrop, let’s explore the main advantages of AI-powered code review for enterprise teams.
