How to Evaluate LLM Features in Developer Tools
A new guide breaks down LLM evaluation for developer tools into three axes: usefulness, correctness, and safety.

The piece warns that common benchmarks like SWE-bench may not reflect real-world performance and that safety risks are higher for agents with shell access.

The article's practical focus on execution-based evals is overdue, but it understates how few teams actually implement these rigorous tests in production.
