Claude Sonnet 4.6 is a reminder that model choice is becoming less about prestige and more about matching cost, latency, context, and task difficulty.
Autonomous coding sessions can be useful, but only when teams are clear about permissions, tests, and what still needs a human decision.
The best use of AI in code review is not adding more comments. It is finding the few things that actually matter.
Codex moving beyond code is more interesting than another model benchmark. The harder problem is where the agent sits in the actual workflow.
AI coding agents are moving from novelty demos into normal developer infrastructure. The useful question now is how teams manage them properly.

AI tooling is not going away. What a lot of people are calling a bubble looks more like denial in the face of tools that are already becoming normal developer infrastructure.
TypeScript 6.0 is now live, but the main story is not flashy syntax. It is the upgrade work you should do now before TypeScript 7 lands.
