AI-assisted coding has lowered the barrier to building software. But a repository full of generated features isn't the same as a finished, tested, maintainable application. When a project stalls, return to the fundamentals: Define the minimum finis...

How can AI help lazy programmers to reach enlightened laziness and long-term laziness for real productivity?#how-can-ai-help-lazy-programmers-to-reach-enlightened-laziness-and-long-term-laziness-for-real-productivity Being a Lazy Programmer#being-a...

Generating code is no longer the part that interests me most. The harder problem starts one step later: Who gets to decide that the generated software is actually correct? I have been working on an open-source project called Derivative, and its so...

When good cameras got cheap, everyone predicted the death of professional photography. The prediction landed wrong. The low end died outright: stock libraries, cheap portraits, mass-event coverage went to anyone with a phone and a free editing app. T...

I built a working knowledge base while I was in a one-hour company meeting, waiting for my turn to give my briefing. Even I was surprised at how fast it came together. And it was not a mockup. It was a complete chat interface that connected to nearly...

My company decided to lean into AI — to let people who had never written code build real software with it. I thought that was the right call, and I still do. The logic behind the decision seems airtight: tools like Claude Desktop are built to be acc...

Cursor's command-line coding agent has a workspace trust feature. It's supposed to stop the agent from acting on a project until you've told it you trust that project. Security researcher Francisco Rosales at Manifold Security found a way around it, ...

Todd Fisher, CEO and co-founder of CTM, explains why speed is only part of the story. The "10x engineer" idea has been around for a long time. It's the notion that the best developers don't just work harder — they work at a fundamentally different...

Hans Eckman's Info-Tech LIVE keynote cuts through the hype and tells developers exactly what they need to do differently — starting today. AI coding tools were supposed to make developers faster, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce production defects....

A new report from Qodo puts some hard numbers behind something most developers already feel: AI coding tools are moving faster than the systems built to catch their mistakes. The report, based on a Censuswide survey of 500 U.S. IT engineers and en...

You open a new Copilot chat and explain everything again. Your stack. Folder structure. That “no default exports” rule. Copilot writes code, but forgets context. This isn’t a bug though. LLMs are stateless, every chat starts fresh. The good part?...

Most devs still use Claude like a search engine — type, read, copy, close. But the 2026 Pragmatic Engineer survey shows 55% of engineers now use AI agents, and senior engineers lead at 63.5%. Same Claude, different mode. Just published a breakdown...

Anthropic just published research that should make every developer uncomfortable. When AI produces code, documents, or working apps, users stop checking the work. They get more precise about what they ask for up front — but less rigorous about evalua...

As the Founder of ReThynk AI, I’ve come to a simple conclusion: Trust in AI is not a technical problem. It’s a human problem. And that’s why trust in AI is built the same way trust is built between people. Why Trust in AI Is Built Like Trust in Pe...

TL;DR The Problem: AI models act like eager junior developers—compliant but lacking judgment. They don't fear breaking production. The Solution: Instead of just prompting for code, we must provide "System Instructions" that act as an operating sys...

As the Founder of ReThynk AI, I don’t use AI code review to “approve faster.” I use it to catch what humans miss when they’re tired, rushed, or too close to the code. But only if I use a checklist that forces real scrutiny, not shallow comments lik...

Graphite's New PR Page Tackles the Problem Nobody's Talking About AI is writing more code. Everyone knows this. But here's what people aren't thinking about: if AI writes 4x more code, someone still has to review, test, merge, and deploy all of it...
