  1. The new 10x Engineer with AI

    The idea of the “10x engineer” has always been a bit controversial. Some people see it as a myth. Some people see it as a harmful label that creates hero culture. Some people have worked with engineers who clearly create much more impact than others, and believe the idea is real. I sit somewhere in the middle. I don’t think a 10x engineer means someone who writes 10x more code than everyone else. That version of the idea was never useful to me. Writing more code is not the same as […]

  8. #AICodingAgents are evolving fast.

    In this #InfoQ video, Sepehr Khosravi breaks down today’s leading tools (Cursor, Claude Code, and beyond), where each excels, and how to get production-ready results.

    Learn:
    🔹 What each top AI coding agent is best (and worst) at
    🔹 Best strategies that improve code quality
    🔹 How to evaluate and choose copilots that genuinely boost team velocity

  9. #SimonWillison discusses the impact of #AI on #softwareengineering. He highlights November 2025 as a turning point when #AIcodingagents became reliable. Willison also emphasises the need for #security measures against #promptinjection and predicts the rise of “dark factories” where AI autonomously generates and tests code. lennysnewsletter.com/p/an-ai-s #tech #media #news

  10. #AIcodingagents will soon drastically change the landscape of #vulnerabilityresearch, making it easier to find high-impact vulnerabilities. This shift, driven by the capabilities of frontier models, will lead to a surge in #exploitablevulnerabilities, impacting everything from operating systems to IoT devices. sockpuppet.org/blog/2026/03/30 #tech #media #news

  11. Developers are becoming directors, not typists. As large language models turn into coding agents, the real skill shifts to prompt design and orchestration. Simon Last explains how AI productivity tools like Codex reshape software development and why open‑source collaboration matters more than ever. #AICodingAgents #PromptDesign #SoftwareDev #MachineLearning

  12. In covering the story of an AI agent apparently writing a hit piece blog post about someone who declined its GitHub merge request, Ars Technica posted a story that included fabricated quotes created by AI.

    It's slop all the way down.

  14. The #environmentalimpact of #AIcodingagents like #ClaudeCode is significantly higher than typical LLM queries. A single Claude Code session involves numerous tool calls and long prompts, leading to substantially more energy consumption. The author estimates the energy cost of a Claude Code session by analysing token usage and applying pricing data from Anthropic’s API. simonpcouch.com/blog/2026-01-2 #tech #media #news

  15. This #guide provides a #framework for writing effective #specifications for #AIcodingagents. It emphasises starting with a high-level vision and letting the AI draft the details, structuring the spec like a professional PRD, and integrating the spec into the development toolchain. The guide also highlights the importance of planning, breaking tasks into smaller chunks, and continuously iterating on the spec and implementation. addyo.substack.com/p/how-to-wr #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

  19. I've been trying to make sense of staff/chief/distinguished level engineers being enthusiastic about #AICodingAgents. Intuitively you'd assume they're the adults in the room and should easily detect the quality and bullshit that such agents pull.

    Mindsets I can explain:

    Junior engineers: oh my, I'm getting super powers!

    Mid engineers: I thought I had so much left to learn, but maybe I don't have to!

    Senior engineers: this looks cool, but hang on let's have a closer look 🤔 — err... wtf!?

    Staff engineers: now I no longer have to work with junior-senior engineers to work out the details!

    That last bit is key, I suspect. At the Staff level, you're less involved with the details, mostly with the bigger picture and bigger ideas. At that level, AI code looks fine. You're used to having people you can leave ironing the details to, now those are just automated. The trap here is that the people you handed work to weren't professional bullshitters. Likely you had trained them yourself, you could gauge their skillset and knowledge or get hints of what they were based on their communication. That's no longer the case with coding agents. They always sound "PhD level" no matter what. Therefore it's very easy to miss the garbage they produce.

    In some contexts I acted at a Staff-level and it took be considerable time to "poke" through this reality distortion. Maybe all those enthusiastic Staffers we hear now are simply not there yet.

    The sooner the beter, though. I'm still cleaning up the mess after my own "AI coding power trip" in the @silverbulletmd code base.
