The Latest

Five of the most interesting recent dev tool (or dev tool-adjacent) launches on the site. 

Jam AI is Jam's latest launch, an AI-powered tool that automates bug reporting by generating technical descriptions and reproduction steps from recorded videos

Prototype is a quick-start dockerized template for setting up a Django project with OpenAI integration in seconds. Prototype allows you to create complex projects in a single prompt.

Maxium AI is a GitHub app that enhances engineering management by identifying productivity blockers and providing AI agents to automate tasks.

Movestax is a serverless cloud platform that enables developers to deploy applications, manage databases, provision solutions with one click, and run AI models, all within a single platform

Prisma Postgres is a serverless database built for Prisma ORM, designed to be fast, scalable, and cost-efficient—no cold starts, no overpaying.

GitHub’s latest AI

GitHub Copilot has mostly been a helpful sidekick, filling in code as you type. Agent Mode changes that by letting it take on full tasks—running commands, debugging errors, and making fixes on its own. Instead of just suggesting what to write next, it now follows through, handling more of the coding process without waiting for input at every step.

This fits into a bigger pattern in developer tools. Some AI-powered coding assistants focus on helping with individual lines or functions, while others try to generate entire applications from a simple prompt. Copilot is moving toward something in between—it still works alongside you, but it's starting to take more control over how the work gets done.

That’s great for saving time, but it also shifts the role of a developer. If Copilot is handling the details, coding starts to look less like writing and more like reviewing. Useful, but worth thinking about what that means in the long run.
