I do agree there is a balance here, and that the ideal point in the spectrum is likely in between the two product experiences that are currently being offered here. There are a lot…

(Disclaimer: I work on coding agents at GitHub) This data is great, and it is exciting to see the rapid growth of autonomous coding agents across GitHub. One thing to keep in mind …

Yes. This is a really key part of why Copilot coding agent feels very different to use than Copilot agent mode in VS Code. In coding agent, we encourage the agent to be very thorou…

As peer commenters have noted, coding agent can be really good at improving test coverage when needed. But also as a slightly deeper observation - agentic coding tools really do be…

It’s funny - when we were first designing TypeScript - I often described it as "TypeScript is to CoffeeScript as C#/C++/Java is to Ruby" often adding "and there are 50x more of the…

Fun! Reminds me of a little tangent I went down when I realized the untyped lambda calculus could be embedded within the single Go type `type V func(v V) V`, including a Y Combinat…

There have been some good questions in a few of the threads here about why Pulumi added YAML support in the first place. I thought I’d share a few thoughts on that. Certainly it wa…
