Claude Code doesn't just suggest code: it reads the project, runs commands and checks the result. Based on Anthropic's documentation, here is how that loop works and where the controls are.
Cursor is a code editor with a built-in AI agent that reads the project, edits files and runs commands. Understand the workflow, the security controls and what research says about productivity and quality.
When an AI agent edits files and makes commits, Git becomes your safety net. Based on official documentation, see how to organize branches, review and protections so nothing reaches the main version without you seeing it.
GitHub Copilot ranges from autocomplete to an agent that opens pull requests on its own. See how each part fits into the workflow, what the documentation itself says about its limits and what independent studies found.
Some studies show programmers 56% faster with AI, and another showed them 19% slower. Understand what each piece of evidence measures and what it does not allow you to conclude.
Coding agents speed up writing code, but they don't tell you whether anyone wants your product. This guide shows where they help in an MVP and where the decision is still yours.
Feeling that AI speeds up your work is not the same as measuring that it does. See which metrics to use, which ones mislead and how to set up a simple experiment on your team.
TypeScript adds to JavaScript a type check that runs before the program does. See what it catches, what it misses, what the studies say and how to start without rewriting your project.
