Two Debuggers Shipped This Week. They Disagree on What Debugging Means.
Cursor's /debug regenerates broken code. Visual Studio's agentic debugger investigates why it broke. The tools define two incompatible philosophies for AI-era debugging — and your team has already picked a side by default.
Green CI Is a Lie Now: When AI Writes Both the Code and the Tests
Every major coding tool now runs write-test-fix loops autonomously. Green CI no longer proves your code works.
Your Codebase Has Four AI Authors Who Never Read Each Other's Work

GitHub Gave AI a Verified Signature. Nobody Updated the Liability Policies.
GitHub's cloud agent now signs commits cryptographically. The audit trail is perfect. The accountability trail is empty.
Four Coding Agents, Four Data Policies, One Didn't Bother Writing Theirs

Your IDE Isn't a Text Editor Anymore — It's a Knowledge Monopoly Over Your Own Code
Coding tools shifted from autocomplete to full-repo indexing. Now your IDE holds a map of your entire codebase — and switching costs are real.
