AI Code Is Producing a Quality Crisis Nobody Wants to Talk About
The productivity numbers look great. AI coding tools are everywhere.
AI Coding Agents: Adoption Trends - The JetBrains Blog
How many developers use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, JetBrains Junie, and others)? Evidence from the Developer Ecosystem Survey 2026.
Kilo - Pricing
Pricing for Kilo Code, the open-source AI coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains and the CLI
Code Is Cheap Now, And That Changes Everything | Pere Villega
AI coding agents have made code production nearly free. Drawing on insights from Kent Beck, Paul Ford, and Simon Willison, this post argues that the value has shifted from writing code to defining systems — contracts, invariants, SLAs, and verification.
Cline - AI Coding, Open Source and Uncompromised
Open-source AI coding agent with Plan/Act modes, MCP integration, and terminal-first workflows. Trusted by 5M+ developers worldwide.
Stop Using OpenCode
If you don’t know what OpenCode is, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever. The boot is made of TypeScript and the face is everything we have learned about security and systems software since the invention of the electronic computer in the 1940s. The creators describe it as an AI coding agent. As far as I can tell it’s the most popular open-source coding agent, and it currently has 161k stars on GitHub.
Liberatory Computing
We live under a capitalist mode of computing. The tools, languages, techniques, and assumptions of digital systems are structured by economic forces that shape not just what we can do, but what we can imagine doing. By separating production from use, producing inflexible software, and slicing up computing into siloed apps, your agency is held back by a tech industry that profits from a population rendered computationally passive.

SERA is the first in our family of Open Coding Agents, achieving state-of-the-art performance at low cost.
If you're going to cite that NBER report from OpenAI about "how people use AI," you've got to at least caveat it. We have no way to directly verify most of the report, and we do have at least one good reason, via indirect evidence and quoted below, to not trust it. nber.org/papers/w34255
Maria Antoniak
Not the point of the OP, but I was curious and took a closer look at this 2025 piece from OpenAI. Much could be said, but it fails my go-to test for all of these pieces about "how people actually use AI": the tokens "sex" "erotic" and "NSFW" do not appear in the paper.
"AI makes it cheaper to contribute to Open Source, but it's not making life easier for maintainers. More contributions are flowing in, but the burden of evaluating them still falls on the same small group of people. That asymmetric pressure risks breaking maintainers." also relevant to slop science
