“most teams i know just built their own with python or node and tie it to linear or github issues. maybe look at langchain's experimental multi-agent stuff but its not production ready at all”
“This notice at the bottom of a board view in Linear FEELS useful, but then you click the "Display options" link and you realise it's just teasing you. You're left to toggle each of these options and hope that the hidden issues show up.”
“Codex & Cursor plan sprint and roadmap; Cursor writes Linear tickets; Codex verifies; Then Codex kicks off sprint; Codex instructs Devin to write and ship PRs; Devin evaluates and writes code and submits branches; Cursor monitors the slack channel and PRs, reviews them”
“Linear's growth proves the thesis that agents don't need entirely new products, separate interfaces, or a parallel universe of tooling built specifically for machines.”
“Being UI, it has markdown reader, a native browser integration, linear or github built in integration. So working with multiple different unrelated projects feels natural.”
“Linear. There may be others like it, but it's wonderful for project management. I do think they have a free tier, but I pay for it and my workflow as a software engineer is often discussing with AI how to build a feature and then allowing and then reviewing its plan.”
“Slated, my beloved vibecoded-content-calendar-app-built-on-Linear's-API recently got a little bit nicer now that I can drop in projects alongside individual issues.”
“Reminded me of when Linear’s CEO shared a post on Twitter bragging about how they only hired the best devs, and then I sent a screenshot of their homepage with a broken horizontal scroll. They dismissed it as a fault on my end for having an unsupported device. Turns out that a single CSS2 directive from 1998 fixed the issue (my OS is from 2022).”
“Tried have it implement a Linear backlog with Astra high, now a greenfield project on Ultra with steering. Maybe I just send it the article and let it find where to optimize?”
“my issue tracker is becoming the perfect mashup of Linear and Radar.. it also has fully native agentic integration (full MCP toolkit). claude and i are already using the tracker to build the tracker.”
“I keep Linear for the work board, and for the actual social posts I let the agent draft and queue from chat, then I hit confirm before anything publishes. That way a bad run stays a pending draft instead of a live post.”
“I use linear. The first hour of my day and the last hour of my day is me actually using my monkey hands and brain to add things, close things, and edit things in that system.”
“Linear is the clear winner. They have built an agentic product first that allows us to build 100x more software, and that means 100x more features than ever before.”
“I'm trying to use the codex plugin with Linear so that I can assign issues to it and have it open tasks in Codex in the respective repo for the given project, but it's totally messed up. It always opens up a new task inside the wrong repo, and it seems stuck in one particular repo every time.”
“@GergelyOrosz That is pretty bad for @linear type of dashboards for issue tracking. You will ask your agent to generate what is going on in your team and it is going to generate something directly from github commits/PRs/Issues customized to your needs”
“@wongmjane @cognition @devindesktop Every 3 months I flip flop between "Linear will crush it in the AI era" and "Linear will be crushed in the AI era".”
“I use linear. Which is an issue tracker designed to work with AI through mcp. Break big things into a project with issues and update your skills/commands so that you’re always pulling/updating linear issues.”
“Except when a new product shows how it can be done. Eg Bun for building, Linear for issues, Craft Docs for editing… and look at this Superlogical demo for tmux:”
“>Linear Documents have built-in version history (every edit, even AI/MCP edits, is diffable/revertable). That's your "living artifact." Use Comments for the "why" thread.”
“I feel like Linear might be an easier tool for my non-technical product managers, but it feels a little too stateless. It doesn't seem to be doing a good job of keeping track of changes.”
“and honestly the second person is the real threshold, not agent count: as soon as another human is involved the plan moves out of the repo into linear/issues so humans own the queue and agents just get scoped tickets.”
“Everything I build assumes there’s a written plan somewhere (a tasks file, Linear, GitHub issues) that agents pull work from. But I keep hearing from people whose real process is closer to “I tell each agent what to do in its own terminal and hold the rest in my head.””
“We tested Notion and Linear early on. Both worked fine as tools but the tool matters less than the protocol. My agents wrote to a shared task file with a strict format and I reviewed it daily.”
“Linear is not bad, but feels a little to complex at times, also has limited issues on the free tier, but the basic plan looks like a good option. Was hoping there would be something free out there for a single user.”
