Refactor Safely with AI: Using MCP and Traffic Replay to Validate Code Changes

So as software engineers using AI coding assistants, we’re quickly learning of a new anti-pattern: Hallucinated Success. You give your agent (e.g. Claude via terminal or various IDE code assistants) the command “refactor the billing controller.” The agent happily complies, churning out nice clean code. The agent even goes so far as to write a new unit test suite that passes at 100%. You integrate it. Your test suites pass. Your production code breaks. Why?

We're Past Human-Scale Operations. Here's Why.

Ever been on a 100-person P1 call where everyone says, “It’s not us”? That’s not a people problem. It’s a broken operating model. More tools. More data. More teams. And somehow… slower resolution. This is what happens when observability is fragmented across silos. Each team has data, but no one has shared truth—and human-scale operations can’t keep up with modern IT complexity.
