Debugging isn’t just about fixing code; it’s about reducing uncertainty. We’re taking a massive leap toward solving that problem by introducing a new, upgraded, guided workflow within our existing Debugger Agent in Visual Studio.

🎙️ Featuring: Mark Downie
Let's look at the new Agents window in VS Code, showing how it centralizes agent sessions across local, CLI, cloud, and remote machines—manage worktrees, run tasks, run code reviews, commit and make PRs, and even connect via vscode.dev/agents. You'll learn practical tips for pinning, filtering, creating sub-sessions, and integrating Copilot CLI or Claude, so you can move from code-first to agents-first and keep productivity sane across multiple projects.

I learned a lot about ref structs and ref readonly and interfaces...and I think the best solution is to just not handle it. In fact, let's try to make it a diagnostic!

Scott and Wes sit down with Alex Sexton and Amadeus De Marzi from Pierre Computer to dig into the gnarly performance challenges behind building blazing-fast code review tools, covering virtualization, progressive rendering, and why GitHub’s UI feels so sluggish. They also chat about how major AI coding tools like Claude, Codex, and Cursor are adopting Pierre’s diffs library, plus the role of web components, benchmarking, and what it takes to build “VS Code 2.0.”

"Every feature is a product bet. I would call this a process bet — just try to see what works best for you." - Njegos Ilic
Njegos shares a change story from his time working with a tech lead who had previously been a Scrum Master — a partnership that made all the difference. Together, they introduced a simple but powerful change: visualizing the team's work on a Miro board instead of relying on a standard ticket board with cards and status columns. They mapped out concepts, connected ticket numbers to a visual representation of how different pieces of work fit together, and used this board during dailies and refinements to track progress in context. The change wasn't imposed top-down — Njegos and his tech lead simply said, "Give us one sprint to try this. If it doesn't work, we drop it." The result was immediate: dailies became more engaging, the team could see how their individual work connected to the bigger picture, and Njegos found it much easier to track progress as a visual thinker. His advice for Scrum Masters and product owners who want to introduce something similar is refreshingly simple — frame it as a "process bet," just like you'd frame a product bet. Try it, measure what happens, and if it doesn't work, drop it and try something else. The willingness to experiment with your own process is a prerequisite for experimenting with the product itself.
Self-reflection Question: What "process bet" has your team been avoiding — and what would it take to just try it for one sprint?

When you're building applications with PostgreSQL, finding the right resources can be harder than it should be. Documentation lives in one place, samples in another, tutorials scattered across blogs, and community discussions fragmented across forums. You end up with multiple browser tabs open just to piece together a working architecture for your project. Whether you're just getting started or you've been building for years, if all you want is a faster path from "I have an idea" to "this is running in production", then PostgreSQL Hub for Azure Developers is for you.
It brings everything together in one place. But it's more than just a content aggregator. Here's what makes it different:
No matter what stage you're at in building with PostgreSQL on Azure, there's something here for you. The hub is especially relevant if you are:
The sample apps, patterns, and learning content are valuable irrespective of whether you're already building on PostgreSQL or just exploring what's possible.
The surface area of what you can build with PostgreSQL has expanded significantly, and finding the right resource at the right time shouldn't slow you down. That's exactly what this hub is here to solve.
Here's a quick walkthrough of the Postgres Hub:
Head over to aka.ms/postgres-hub to explore further! Browse the sample apps, pick a learning pathway that matches where you are, or join the community discussions to connect with other developers and Microsoft engineers.
We're actively growing this hub based on what the community needs. Your feedback, your questions, and your contributions will shape what comes next.
