Durable decisions, relevant context and verifiable increments: a pragmatic perspective on keeping engineering judgment in AI-assisted development.
Why Software Engineering Is Indispensable in the Age of Coding Agents
Can AI make Software Engineering (SE) -- the discipline -- obsolete? And can it make software engineers -- the professionals -- redundant? This paper argues that the rise of capable AI coding...

AI Code
As AI Coding Agents write more code, it's more important than ever that we're intentional about the code it writes.
Writing Code vs. Shipping Code: Productivity Effects Across Generations of AI Coding Tools
How do the productivity effects of AI evolve across successive generations of tools, and to what extent do task-level gains ultimately translate into final outp

Agentic Engineering Management
To what extent AI is OK to use in software development might be debated, but in general, the idea is not a controversial one anymore. The debate rather moved on from code completion and simple PR summarizations to Agentic Engineering, where an execution loop allows an AI Agent to function

AI | 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey
84% of respondents are using or planning to use AI tools in their development process, an increase over last year (76%). This year we can see 51% of professional developers use AI tools daily.

Essential Reading for Agentic Engineers - July 2025 | Peter Steinberger
Fresh insights on AI-assisted development: practical experiences with Claude Code and the evolving landscape of full-breadth developers in the age of AI


AI boosts worker productivity — but does that translate to final outputs? | MIT Sloan
A new study found that developers using AI tools can write much more code than those working without AI, but they don’t release as much new software.

Agent Skills
AI coding agents take the shortest path to done, which usually means skipping the specs, tests, and reviews that make software reliable at scale. Agent Skill...

How building software is changing at Anthropic
A deepdive on what’s changed in how the leading AI lab makes software. Ever more code review and testing is done by AI, two-pizza teams very much alive, and more. Details from inside of Anthropic

River's Blog: Blog - AI took the old software engineering, there is a new software engineering in town
Software engineering problems have changed, it's no logner just writing code - the hard part is now being responisible and writing good code

Writing Is Closer to Thought Than Code
Why your written intent should be the source of truth when building with AI
