The AI tool stack a developer uses in 2026 looks nothing like it did eighteen months ago. Agentic editors, review tools, terminal agents, and test assistants have settled into recognizable roles. A practical guide by category.
AI agents are starting to earn a real place in continuous integration pipelines: reviewing diffs, proposing fixes, generating missing tests. Six months of real-world use to separate the patterns that work from the ones that end up costing more time than they save.
Docker Scout continuously scans container images against CVE databases including NVD and ecosystem-specific advisories, and recommends base-image changes to remove vulnerabilities. Built into Docker Desktop and Hub, it competes with Trivy, Grype and Snyk. Best fit for teams already running end-to-end on the Docker ecosystem.
