There's a dirty secret in AI-assisted development. The tools we're using — Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Copilot — are extraordinarily good at generating code. They can refactor a function, spin up an API endpoint, or write a test suite in seconds. But ask them to make a meaningful change to a real production system, and something breaks down fast.

Traversal
AI coding agents are transforming software development - but they still don’t understand how systems actually behave in production. This post explores why system-level context is becoming the missing layer in AI-driven engineering and what changes when code, runtime and infrastructure are connected.
