More computer, rather than more human.
Hey, Computer Scientists! Stop Hating on the Humanities
Opinion: Computer science departments need to teach coders more than just how to code.

Who cleans up after the vibe-coding party?
Our obsession with AI code-writing tools is overwhelming the web’s unsung human caretakers

Our interfaces have lost their senses
We programmed them by punching cards, plugging in wires, and flipping switches. Programmers walked among banks of switches and cables, physically choreographing their logic. Being on a computer used to be a full-body experience.
AI Code Is Producing a Quality Crisis Nobody Wants to Talk About
The productivity numbers look great. AI coding tools are everywhere.
Coding After Coders: The End of Computer Programming as We Know It
In the era of A.I. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they’re doing is deeply, deeply weird.

Code Is Cheap Now. Software Isn’t.
The barrier to entry for building software has collapsed. The barrier to building something that matters hasn’t moved an inch.

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.

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

Write-Only Code | Heavybit
AI may be accelerating software into a world of "write-only" code that forces a rethink of culture, processes, and tools. Heavybit’s Joseph Ruscio explains.

Coding Is Dead, Long Live Programming — Ian Cooper - Staccato Signals
Summary In this post, we argue that the role of a coder now belongs to a coding agent, but that the distinct role of a programmer define...

AI Code
As AI Coding Agents write more code, it's more important than ever that we're intentional about the code it writes.
Why AI hasn’t replaced software engineers, and won’t
Coding agents as normal technology

AI vs human code gen report: AI code creates 1.7x more issues
We analyzed 470 open-source GitHub pull requests, using CodeRabbit’s structured issue taxonomy and found that AI generated code creates 1.7x more issues.

”The distinction between programmer and user is reinforced and maintained by a tech industry that benefits from a population rendered computationally passive. If we accept and adopt the role of less agency, we then make it harder for ourselves to come into more agency.”
