It is hard to communicate how much programming has changed due to AI in the last 2 months: not gradually and over time in the "progress as u

AI coding agents have transformed from largely ineffective before December to reliably executing complex multi-step tasks autonomously within 30 minutes.

Agentic AI and The Mythical Agent-Month
A critique argues that AI agents don't bypass Brooks' Law, as coordination overhead and integration complexity still limit parallel agent scaling.

Why Open-Source Models Haven't Killed the Big Dogs
Open-source models remain costlier to serve reliably due to infrastructure, utilization, and operational overhead, making hosted APIs from OpenAI and Anthropic more economical despite free model weights.

Thoughts on slowing the fuck down
Rapid adoption of AI coding agents in production codebases leads to compounding errors, complexity, and loss of maintainability; the author advocates for slowing down and maintaining human oversight.

AddyOsmani.com - Agentic Engineering
The article argues for the term 'agentic engineering' to describe disciplined, human-oversight-driven AI-assisted development, contrasting it with the reckless 'vibe coding' approach.
