Operations | Monitoring | ITSM | DevOps | Cloud

A few months ago, Steve Yegge published his 8 levels of AI-assisted development, and it clicked the moment I read it, because I had lived that exact progression myself, moving from autocomplete to running agents one step at a time. Framed as an AI trust gradient, it finally gave the industry a vocabulary for something most of us were already going through without a name for it. If you haven’t read it, save it for later.

The promise of agentic AI is dead simple to understand. Instead of waiting for a human to draft every instruction, an AI agent can interpret a goal, take action, and work across systems until the task is done. For IT teams, that motion sounds like the next logical phase of automation. That promise is real... but it’s also where the risk starts. Traditional automation followed instructions. Agentic AI, by contrast, pursues outcomes. That difference turns the entire governance model on its head.

The Harness VS Code Extension is now on the Marketplace. Monitor pipelines, debug logs, approve deployments, and query failures with Claude Code, Copilot, or Cursor, without leaving VS Code. Your Harness pipelines, logs, and deployment approvals are now a sidebar panel away inside VS Code. The Harness VS Code Extension is live on the VS Code Marketplace today, no.vsix download, no manual install.

No matter how fast we build, we'll never integrate with every tool. There are too many, new ones appear constantly, and some are too niche to ever reach the top of our roadmap. So if the tool you care about isn't supported yet, your options have been to wait for us to get to it, or build it yourself with our Web API plugin — a powerful, flexible option, though one that asks you to map out the endpoints, authentication and paging yourself.

There’s a lot happening across Asia Pacific right now. Enterprises are moving quickly to modernize operations, adopt AI, and manage growing complexity across increasingly distributed environments, and the opportunity ahead for LogicMonitor in the region continues to grow alongside it. That’s why I’m especially excited to welcome Dave Patnaik to LogicMonitor as our new Vice President of APAC.

Coding agents are good at reading a spec and producing code. But producing code is one step in a longer process. The real loop is Spec -> Code -> Deploy -> Test -> Verify -> Ship. Agents stop at step two. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

Microsoft Copilot cannot see archived SharePoint content in either Microsoft 365 Archive or standard third-party archives. Here's why - and how to close the gap.
