Linear is a project management and issue tracking tool used by software teams, known for speed and keyboard-driven workflows. Recent coverage touched its engineering changes as AI coding spread: Linear moved workloads to faster third-party runners and adopted the native TypeScript compiler, cutting PR wait time from over six minutes to just over five and roughly halving runner time per test. Figma also named Linear among 20 new MCP partners, and a developer reported an Opus 5.5 Linear clone.
Figma co-founder says MCP is not a perfect protocolAt its first Config conference in India, Figma announced 20 new MCP partners, including Notion, Linear and Mistral. Co-founder Dylan Field said MCP is imperfect and favors frontier labs, and that Figma won't expose all its data via MCP due to abuse risk.
Opus 5.5 Builds a Full Figma Clone in 3 Hours, 8 PromptsA developer says Opus 5.5 produced a fully working Figma clone in about three hours using eight prompts, calling it a threshold moment for AI coding. The output is no longer a mere lookalike but usable software, and single prompts later yielded Google Meet, Docs, Telegram and Linear clones.
AI coding makes CI a bottleneck; Linear reworks pipelineAI agents speed up code delivery, making CI a bottleneck and raising costs. Linear moved workloads to faster third-party runners and adopted the native TypeScript compiler, cutting PR wait time from more than six minutes to just over five and roughly halving runner time per test, even as its test suites nearly quadrupled.
