How to seamlessly resume a GitHub Copilot session in VS Code

GitHub’s official tutorial explains how to import an entire Copilot session—complete with generated code changes, conversation context, and the working tree—into Visual Studio Code with a single click, enabling an end-to-end collaboration workflow that requires no branch rebase, preserves all context, and allows you to review/edit/test directly before pushing to the associated pull request.

Quoting Addy Osmani, Morgan Westlee Lunt, and Qing Wang

We think "did a human read the code?" is an imprecise proxy for "what could go wrong with this change, and which check—automated or human—is the right one to catch it?" Asking that question also changed when review happens. Before, review was a gate at the end of the road: write the code, open a PR, wait for your colleague. Now, review runs continuously, more like spellcheck while you write. Most changes have been reviewed and fixed by Claude at least once before a human is asked to look. This catches most routine mistakes, and saves team attention for higher-level questions and scrutiny. — Addy Osmani, Morgan Westlee Lunt, and Qing Wang, How the Claude Code team does code review Tags: anthropic, claude, ai, claude-code, llms, addy-osmani, coding-agents, generative-ai, agentic-engineering,

12 Enterprise-Grade Workflow Automation Platforms Compared: n8n, ServiceNow, Power Automate, and Others Selected

The n8n blog has published an in-depth guide comparing 12 mainstream enterprise-grade workflow automation platforms, focusing on five key dimensions: deployment models, integration capabilities, governance mechanisms, AI/agent support, and cost models. The guide underscores the core demands of technical teams regarding data sovereignty, multi-AI vendor switching, and code extensibility.

Redesigning source control at Anthropic

Redesigning source control at Anthropic Interesting piece from Anthropic describing why and how they built their own custom alternative to Git, based on the dramatic increase in rate of changes to their code after the past six months. In May 2026, Anthropic averaged around 2,500 code changes merged per day; as of September, we merged over 30,000 per day. They included a chart showing those changes. I had Claude modify their chart (code here) to add markers for the public releases of each of their models in 2026: This shows public release dates, not the date when models became available for Anthropic's internal use. My guess is that the introduction of Fable/Mythos class models is a key factor in the increased coding velocity. "Antique" is their new code review system. The source control sy

Quoting Geoffrey Huntley

If the agent isn't using my diagnostics library, I could introspect and update AGENTS.md, but there's still a delta, and it'll drift. Instead, I write a pre-commit hook that checks the git diff for direct calls to observability modules that bypass my diagnostics module. Boom: fail the commit, inject a prompt telling the agent to use the diagnostics library. All of a sudden it's ten out of ten. — Geoffrey Huntley, nobody should type code by hand anymore. here's what's left.

Qwen2.5-Coder: Code More, Learn More!

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction In early April, we introduced CodeQwen1.5, which garnered significant attention from the community. Since then, we have been working to enhance the coding model. Today, we are excited to announce the release of the next generation of open-source coding models, Qwen2.5-Coder, and officially rename CodeQwen to Qwen-Coder. We think “Coder” is more human-like and agile, reflecting our vision of it becoming a true coding partner in the future.

Hello Qwen2

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction After months of efforts, we are pleased to announce the evolution from Qwen1.5 to Qwen2. This time, we bring to you: Pretrained and instruction-tuned models of 5 sizes, including Qwen2-0.5B, Qwen2-1.5B, Qwen2-7B, Qwen2-57B-A14B, and Qwen2-72B; Having been trained on data in 27 additional languages besides English and Chinese; State-of-the-art performance in a large number of benchmark evaluations; Significantly improved performance in coding and mathematics; Extended context length support up to 128K tokens with Qwen2-7B-Instruct and Qwen2-72B-Instruct.

Code with CodeQwen1.5

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction The advent of advanced programming tools, which harnesses the power of large language models (LLMs), has significantly enhanced programmer productivity and accuracy. Notwithstanding these advancements, dominant coding assistants like Github Copilot, built upon proprietary LLMs, pose notable challenges in terms of cost, privacy, security, and potential copyright infringement. Recognizing the imperative for a more transparent and accessible alternative, the open-source community has embarked on a concerted endeavor to develop open codeLLMs.
