Microsoft has introduced two new pro-code development options within the Power Platform — Power Apps Code Apps and Power Pages Single-Page Applications — that allow professional developers to build custom React-based use…
Roo Code, an agentic AI coding tool forked from Roo Cline, outperforms Cursor in shipping working code by autonomously executing tasks, reading terminals, and iterating until tests pass, according to a developer comparis…
A developer reports that replacing 400 lines of hand-rolled GLUE code with a single MCP server for Claude Code saved 93 minutes versus a two-day budget, and shares seven productivity hacks for Claude Code with MCP, notin…
Uber's engineering teams reported that 25% of all code commits in Q1 2026 came through Claude Code, marking a shift from pilot programs to regular production use at one of the largest multi-service organizations. Anthrop…
Claude Code's voice mode in VS Code on macOS requires the `sox` audio tool and microphone permission for Visual Studio Code. A common failure occurs when VS Code is not granted mic access before launch, resulting in sile…
Recent events, including Claude Code restricting access in China and a Chinese government security bulletin on AI coding tools, have renewed concerns about where code data goes when processed by AI assistants. While tool…
JetBrains AI tested the Ponytail skill for Claude Code across 80 paired tasks and found it cut code by 15%, cost by 10.3%, and time by 11% — roughly a quarter to a half of the advertised reductions of 54% code, 22% token…
Coding agents are shifting software development from a code-driven to a spec-driven process, where detailed product requirement documents (PRDs) and acceptance criteria are becoming the primary artifacts developers maint…
AI coding agents should optimize for less owned code to avoid technical debt, argues a new analysis, as the cost of code generation drops but ownership costs rise. Black Duck's 2026 report found that 97% of audited comme…
At Anthropic's "Code with Claude" event in London, a majority of developers raised their hands when asked if they had recently shipped a pull request entirely written by Claude, with many admitting they did not even read…
As AI coding agents become deeply embedded in developer workflows, the attack surface now extends beyond source code to include repository files, agent instructions, runtime settings, and extension packages that influenc…
Xiaomi's MiMo AI team released MiMo Code V0.1.0 on June 10, 2026, an open-source coding agent claiming 82% on SWE-bench Verified versus Claude Code's 79%, though the scores are self-reported and not on public leaderboard…
Moonshot AI has released Kimi Code CLI, an open-source, MIT-licensed terminal-based AI coding agent written in TypeScript that can read and edit code, run shell commands, and fetch web pages. The tool, available via npm …
Their journey testing various AI coding tools, including GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Pro, before settling on an optimal setup of VS Code with the Claude Code Extension and the MAX Plan. They found that Claude was …
Arize AI today launched coding-harness-tracing, an open source tool that captures step-by-step traces of coding agent workflows across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI. The tool records prompts,…
In 2026, the AI coding assistant market has matured, with GitHub Copilot becoming the safe enterprise choice integrated into VS Code and Visual Studio, while Cursor gained indie developer mindshare through features like …
WaveScope, a new MCP server, uses wavelet transforms to give AI coding tools a multi-resolution view of codebases, enabling them to zoom in and out of hierarchical code structures like classes and modules. The tool treat…
The Superpowers methodology, the most widely used approach in the Claude Code ecosystem with over 208k GitHub stars and 18.5k forks, automates the shift between different coding modes to prevent context waste and ambigui…
The debate between "vibe coding" and "real coding" presents a false binary, as both approaches have strengths and weaknesses depending on the problem being solved. Vibe coding prioritizes speed by letting AI scaffold cod…
