  • Copilot AI Billing Shock Met with Meters, Caps and Token-Saving Tools

    GitHub is layering spending limits, expanded credit allowances and increasingly granular usage reporting onto Copilot, while Microsoft is reworking Visual Studio and VS Code to expose -- and reduce -- the cost of agentic development.

  • The AI-Powered Software Development Lifecycle

    René van Osnabrugge makes the case that AI's biggest opportunity in software development is not faster coding -- it's reducing the friction everywhere else in the SDLC.

  • Copilot Usage-Based Billing Gets a Token Dashboard

    Microsoft is keeping Visual Studio's new built-in Agent Skills switched off by default while a public dashboard measures whether their performance gains justify the additional tokens they may consume.
