A lot of people seem convinced that the point of AI coding is to write low-quality code as fast as possible. Spew out barely-passable slop, open massive PRs, and merge them unvetted. Ship it! But t…

Devin Review: AI to Stop Slop | Cognition
As code generation gets easier, code review is the new bottleneck. That's why we're launching a new way to quickly review and understand complex PRs in our latest tool for codebase understanding - augmenting human attention with AI.

AI Code
As AI Coding Agents write more code, it's more important than ever that we're intentional about the code it writes.
The Economics of Using AI to Churn Out Code Are Looking Worse Than Ever
Anthropic updated an estimate for how much developers will spend on its AI coding tool, signaling that the tech is only going to get costlier.

The Biggest Advance in AI Since the LLM
Claude Code isn’t AGI or even close, but it is an impressive and possibly game-changing “coding agent” for programmers to write code faster that is arguably the single biggest advance in AI since the LLM.

AI Makes Better Software
Don't use AI to ship software faster. Use it to ship better software.

Writing With AI Is Harder Than You Think
It takes rigor, judgment, and willingness to be told your work isn't good enough.


AI Code Is Producing a Quality Crisis Nobody Wants to Talk About
The productivity numbers look great. AI coding tools are everywhere.
AI Is a Waste of Time
The newest AI tools are accelerating basic research and scaring the general public. But many people are simply using them as toys.
AI Coding is Gambling
GambleAI I’ve been coding a lot with AI since November, when we all noticed it got really good. And it is quite good for instantly generating something th...

No Vibes Allowed: Solving Hard Problems in Complex Codebases – Dex Horthy, HumanLayer
God Damn AI is making me dumb
It's so god damn tempting to use AI to write. Whether it is articles, code, or documents. I feel like using AI is diminishing my ability to write myself. ...

AI & Alignment Raw coding speed isn't the bottleneck. Alignment is the bottleneck. That seems to be a zeitgeist-y theme lately. If you're using AI to code, maybe you're feeling it. You can code more and faster. And clearly a boatload of other developers are doing that too. But software doesn't…
AI & Alignment
chriscoyier.netMy impression is that AI coding is on a "pick two of three" triangle: scope, ship speed, and correctness. Small tools are (speed + correctness) fast prototypes are (speed + scope) and big projects are (scope + correctness). Every project that tries to be all three degrades to "fast prototype."
