Terraform to Bicep Migration on Azure: A Field Guide

Moving Azure infrastructure from Terraform to Bicep is less about converting HCL files and more about replacing a state-file workflow with a deployment-based one. This field guide covers when migration pays off, inventorying tfstate, incremental coexistence patterns, the decompile tooling that exists, deployment stacks as the lifecycle answer, and the what-if validation and rollback discipline that keeps the cutover safe.

Running five coding agents at once in the GitHub Copilot app

GitHub’s new Copilot desktop app runs multiple coding agents in parallel, each session isolated in its own git worktree, and is already included in Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business and Enterprise subscriptions.
