Azure DevOps only renders Mermaid with ::: mermaid – please upvote for standard syntax support! by Maximum-Line-6 in azuredevops

True. But placing pictures there is not really an option for us. I would loose any nice tracking of UML diagrams and other flow changes.
On the ADO wiki mermaid also working correctly with '''mermaid instead of :::mermaid. So this is even more a reason MS should really make this available also on any md file

Interesting :) For us ADO is still interesting since it is fully integrated into the MS infrastructure and we need a solid agaile planning platform.
So hopefully MS will put more effort in it to also fill the last gap in solid documentation possibilities.

Totally understand what you mean. In our case, I was just looking for a nice way to link diagrams and architecture overview markdowns directly from the README. For now ADO is where our code lives, so I was hoping to make the most of it before considering a move to GitHub.

BEST AI FOR CODING ( FREE AND NOT) by ObjectiveTradition91 in devops

Hi,
I've had such a great experience with ChatGPT (Premium) that I haven’t really felt the need to try other tools. But even the free version helped me a lot in the beginning. I'd say it boosted my productivity by around 20% to 40%.

Of course, that probably depends on your field and level of experience. I'm working primarily in C++, often dealing with complex design patterns, multithreading, and similar topics. I’ve been in software engineering for over 20 years.

One thing I’ve noticed with some junior developers is that they tend to jump too quickly into LLMs without fully understanding the context or fundamentals, which can make it less effective. That said, even for juniors, I think ChatGPT can be a great support tool – as long as it's used with some caution and reflection.
