Gemini API Now Lets Developers Mix Built-in and Custom Tools in a Single Request

Google shipped a quiet but high-impact update to the Gemini API this week: developers can now mix built-in Google tools — Search, Maps, and others — with their own custom functions in a single API call.

Claude Code Just Made Pull Requests Fully Autonomous — Here Is What Three March Announcements Add Up To

A pull request sat red for two hours over a three-keystroke ESLint fix. The developer saw it, knew exactly what needed to change, and kept deferring anyway — the cognitive tax of context-switching, re-running CI, and waiting eight minutes for the pipeline to go green just wasn't worth it
