Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
KY
Armstrong
I'm,
the
product
manager
for
the
editor
group
of
the
create
stage
of
DevOps
lifecycle
here,
get
lab
and
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
about
the
12:7
release
and
what
we've
got
coming
up
in
the
editor
group.
So
for
12:7,
we've
got
a
lot
of
backstage
work
happening,
and
this
is
all
in
preparation
for
some
bigger
things
that
we're
looking
to
deliver
down
the
road.
So
the
first
thing
that
I
want
to
talk
about
that.
A
We're
really
excited
about
is
beginning
to
work
on
version
control
for
snippets,
and
so,
if
you're
in
word
from
12
6,
we
started
refactoring
the
snippets
view
into
interview
so
that
we
could
start
to
add
new
features
there,
and
so
in
12.
7
were
beginning
some
work
on
the
backend
side
of
things
in
order
to
enable
us
to
get
multi
file
snippets
for
able
us
to
get
version,
control
for
snippets
and
then
that'll
bring
us
into
multiple
files
for
snippets
as
well.
So
there's
a
big
epic
I'll
link
to
it
down
below
in
the
description.
A
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
big
epic,
we've
got
a
number
of
issues
beginning
this
work
in
twelve
seven
it'll
flown
to
twelve,
eight,
twelve,
nine.
You
know,
we've
got
quite
a
bit
of
work
to
do
to
get
this
done,
but
this
is
where
we're
headed
with
snippets
of
really
excited
about
that
now.
If
we
head
back
over
the
board,
the
next
thing
that
I
really
wanted
to
talk
about
was
continuing.
A
On
we
mentioned,
we
were
doing
that
refactor
there's
another
refactor
issue
here
that
we're
working
on
some
of
the
components
related
pieces
here,
so
we're
going
to
be
refactoring
that
a
little
bit
to
get
that
into
view,
as
well
as
part
of
the
snippet
editing
page,
and
so
it's
kind
of
one
of
those
next
steps.
What
I'm
really
excited
to
talk
to
you
about
to
you
is
in
the
UX
space,
and
so
we're
not
shipping
this
yet.
A
But
we
are
thinking
about
this,
and
one
of
the
big
requests
is
syntax,
highlighting
preferences
in
the
web,
IDE
and
so
currently
the
web
ID
is
always
a
black
text
on
white
background,
no
matter
what
your
preferences
in
Gillan.
So
we're
gonna
start
exploring
how
we
can
integrate
these
other
syntax,
highlighting
things
that
we
support
in
project
view
and
what
that
needs
to
look
like
in
the
editor
and
so
you'll
see
here,
we've
kind
of
mapped
your
syntax,
highlighting
preferences
to
themes
that
we
can
use
inside
a
monocle
to
do
this
for
the
code
space.
A
But
the
other
piece
of
that
is
there's
a
file
tree
in
other
areas
here,
so
we're
I'm
going
to
start
examining.
If
you
take
a
look,
this
is
what
these
things
look
like
in
BS
code.
So
we've
got
screenshots
to
all
of
these,
so
this
is
sort
of
what
we're
thinking
these
need
to
look
like
inside
the
web
ID
and
we're
gonna
be
exploring
that
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
cohesive
experience
kind
of
across
the
board.
A
For
that
and
then
the
last
thing
I
want
to
talk
about
is
in
twelve
seven,
we'll
also
be
doing
some
research
around
merge
requests,
and
so
a
merge
requests
are
an
integral
integral
part
of
how
code
is
delivered.
Another
project
and
one
of
the
other
ways
that
happens
is
through
the
web
IDE.
So
currently
the
web
IDE,
when
you
make
a
merge
request
when
you
start
that
process,
you
end
up,
leaving
your
editor
and
going
into
the
merge
request,
workflow
and
so
a
couple
milestones
ago.
A
We
built
a
prototype,
and
so
we've
got
a
prototype
that
allows
you
to
make
your
merge
request
from
right
inside
the
web
IDE,
and
so
when
you
click
that
check
box.
It's
a
certain
new
merge
request,
though
the
new
workflow
shows
up
on
the
right-hand
side
to
create
that
merge
request
and
we're
pretty
excited
to
try
this
out.
We're
gonna
be
doing
some
testing
of
the
prototype
early
in
12:7
of
try
and
get
some
feedback.
And
if
things
look
web,
then
we'll
start
laying
out
what
that
work
looks
like
to
bring
that
in
their
request.
A
Workflow
inside
of
the
web
ie
and
we
goal
there
is
to
speed
up
a
second
commit.
So
if
you
need
to
make
a
second
commit-
and
so
you
don't
generally
break
that
editing
experience
of
writing
your
code
or
writing
your
contributions
and
then
leaving
that
window
and
then,
if
you
need
to
make
another
change,
you've
got
to
go
figure
out
how
to
get
back
into
that
workspace.
And
so
we're
trying
to
leave
you
in
that
workspace
that
you
created
that
in
and
then
let
you
navigate
out.
Naturally.
A
So
those
are
things
we're
working
on
in
12:7.
That's
a
lot
of
backstage
work,
but
it's
all
really
important
in
terms
of
the
next
things
that
we
want
to
ship
for
snippets,
and
so
my
work,
sorry
about
that.
I'll
put
links
to
everything
down
below
and
if
you
watch
out,
feel
free
and
if
you've
got
a
preference
for
syntax
highlighting
we're
gonna
implement
those,
probably
one
at
a
time.
So
we'll
take
some
votes,
maybe
in
the
in
the
issue
for
which
one
we
should
do
first.
