this coming wednesday:

learn the shortcuts to faster, bug-free deployments with Benjie and Erin

shipping faster doesn't necessarily mean you're in a better place, esp when you don't have the right processes/pipelines

how can you keep a good dev pace while being confident your code is bug-free?

here's how you can automate screenshots with your agents:

the @playwright.dev #MCP server boosts #DevEx with agents like #ClaudeCode and #GeminiCLI: they can interact with your app live

"hey Claude, take screenshots of my login form flow: with regular sign in, then with GitHub, and another with Google OAuth"

today at #TestMu, we're showing a sneak preview of our latest development: the Shipyard #MCP server

your agents can now spin up, test against, and tail logs for unlimited ephemeral environments

see it first at TestMu, and watch this space

here's how to apply these:

How to Hide your Staging Environment from Search Engine Indexing | Shipyard

You don’t want your staging environment to be publicly discoverable, or displace your production webpages when someone does a simple search. Here's how you can hide it.

shipyard.build

Shipyard @shipyard.build · Jul 23

is your staging env showing up in search?

this is pretty common, esp if you carry the same site config from prod to staging

keep users away from your untested, WIP features:

1. 🔄 robots.txt
2. 🗑️ staging sitemap.xml
3. canonical ➡️ prod
4. HTTP auth
5. request🗑️Google

we put claude code to the ultimate test: writing #E2E tests ✅

took some trial and error, but we got the best results from directing CC to use test-driven development

not surprising, as human devs often have the same experience with #TDD

how do ephemeral envs prevent 🔥s in staging + prod?

1. they're isolated: they don't share services/data with other envs, so bug blast radius is contained

2. they shift test/review left: find + resolve bugs before they hit staging/prod

build more, firefight less!

not so scary to deploy on friday (the 13th) when you have ephemeral environments!

nice that you deploy on fridays, but do you deploy on friday the 13th?

trunk-based dev is a rapid git dev model: commits are pushed/integrated directly into the trunk, sans PRs/MRs

why?
🔘 merge conflicts--
🔘 cognitive load--
🔘 quality software++

going from a branching model to TBD is no small feat. it takes a combo of automation + teamwork:
