Microsoft Build 2026: Be yourself at work - The Official Microsoft Blog

Platforms shift when developers build. We explore, choose tools, dream, create. This platform shift comes with more information than ever, ready at your fingertips. This shift, it’s about building fast AND THEN: it’s about building, operating, optimizing and observing. Securing your infrastructure, applications and agents in a seamless way that doesn’t slow you down from...

Tests Are The New Moat | Daniel Saewitz

As AI becomes better at cloning people's open source work, what ends up becoming most valuable are software contracts, tests, and API surface area. This clashes the incentives of clearly defining your commercialized open source software with protecting it.

Usage, Effects and Requirements for AI Coding Assistants in the Enterprise: An Empirical Study

The rise of large language models (LLMs) has accelerated the development of automated techniques and tools for supporting various software engineering tasks, e.g., program understanding, code generation, software testing, and program repair. As CodeLLMs are being employed toward automating these tasks, one question that arises, especially in enterprise settings, is whether these coding assistants and the code LLMs that power them are ready for real-world projects and enterprise use cases, and how do they impact the existing software engineering process and user experience. In this paper we survey 57 developers from different domains and with varying software engineering skill about their experience with AI coding assistants and CodeLLMs. We also reviewed 35 user surveys on the usage, experience and expectations of professionals and students using AI coding assistants and CodeLLMs. Based on our study findings and analysis of existing surveys, we discuss the requirements for AI-powered coding assistants.
