Why faster AI coding can mean harder engineering (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We keep asking whether AI can make developers more productive, but that’s the wrong question. We should instead be asking what happens when it does. All those productivity gains can be for good, of course, but they could also be for ill. Simon Willison made this clear in a recent post. “The more time I spend working with coding agents, the more convinced I am that they make software engineering even harder.” Wait, what? Why would he say that? Because getting the most from them requires “extraord
The best IDE for agentic AI may not be an IDE at all (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Steve Yegge is not the shy and retiring type, so when he wants recommendations on how others are managing 10 to 20 (or more) coding agents, he posts the question on X. Specifically, he’s looking for an IDE because “I use Emacs, and I wouldn’t wish it on you.” The replies (600 and counting) offer plenty of alternatives: Herdr, cmux, Conductor, the Claude and Codex desktop apps, and an impressive assortment of homemade software. For anyone hoping the industry had settled on a sensible way to work
AI won’t kill SaaS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues it’s the “most illogical thing in the world” to believe AI will kill SaaS, and says the markets “got it wrong” in sending SaaS stocks tumbling. Why “illogical”? Because, as analyst Benedict Evans stresses, the fact that everyone can now easily spin up code actually doesn’t solve any SaaS problems, because creating code and tools is the easy part: “The hard part is knowing that you need a tool for this in the first place and then knowing what the tool should do.” If
Why tech needs a new kind of English major (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day last week. I struggled to enjoy it. I guess I hit CGI overload, although its 89% score on Rotten Tomatoes suggests others have a higher tolerance. Ditto LinkedIn. I visit the site at least once a day, hoping to catch up on smart things friends and colleagues are saying, but I can’t hear them over the whir of their robots typing. I’m not against artificial intelligence or special effects. I’m against the “artificial” and “special” saturating everything to the point
Giving agents bounded autonomy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone in tech is excited about agentic AI. At least, right up until the moment that the agent begins to act less like a minion and more like a master. For instance, a friend of mine joined me to watch a soccer game over lunch the other day, telling me that his agents were back at the office crafting code for him. That’s the good kind of agent. But then there’s OpenAI’s rogue agents hacking into Hugging Face (and others), plus Anthropic’s Claude (and others’) agents doing the same. Or the Clau
