Every morning, I found myself onboarding a new AI agent. Not a new human teammate. The pattern was always the same: I would open a fresh session and say something like: Continue the bug I was debugging this morning. And the agent would basically ask: What bug? What files? What changed? What failed?
Cognition makes Devin, the first and arguably most successful AI coding agent. But famed coder Wu says it isn't designed to supplant human programmers.
What Good Engineering Looks Like A few years ago, if you told a team that architecture was more important than implementation, you'd probably get some eye rolls. Most of us became engineers because we enjoy building things. The code was the product. The architecture diagrams were just the paperwork.
Most developers I talk to connect Cursor or Claude directly to their databases using a full admin connection string. Wether it's a local Docker database, or cloud-based QA or even production database, since it's not hidden in a subnet and publicly available. Many of developers have open-to-world QA
Agentic AI coding tools are transforming how we build software. But they share a fundamental constraint: context windows are finite, and as chat sessions grow, AI performance degrades, a phenomenon Anthropic calls context rot. The model loses its grip on early instructions, leading to a frustrating
Most AI coding comparisons test "Hello World" apps and call it a day. I ran every major tool through the same three-stage gauntlet: a simple build, a complex full-stack application, and multiple rounds of revisions. The best AI for code should hold up under all three. Most do not. Here is what I fou
Copilot is quietly eroding two different skill sets at once. And almost nobody is talking about it honestly. GitHub Copilot has exceeded 1.5 million paid subscribers. It's safe to say it's now an essential tool as it has integrated into the workflow of many developers a large part of the industry. I
Meta Description: A deep technical breakdown of how AI coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex work under the hood — covering the agentic loop architecture, context window management, subagent orchestration, CI/CD integration, and what Uber's 25%-commit milestone reveals about where software
Honest, hands-on comparison. No hype. Real test results where possible. I spent a month putting five AI coding tools through their paces — from terminal-native CLI tools to full-blown AI IDEs. Some I tested directly. Some are GUI-only so I researched them based on community consensus, documentation,
Two developers use the same AI tool. One gets working code in 30 seconds. The other gets a broken mess and spends an hour fixing it. The difference isn't the tool. It's the prompt. AI coding tools are pattern matchers with enormous context windows. Feed them a clear pattern and they complete it bril
For months, the leading AI coding benchmarks have told enterprise buyers a comforting but misleading story: the top models are all roughly the same. OpenAI's GPT-5 family, Anthropic's Claude Opus, and Google's Gemini Pro have clustered within a narrow band on Scale AI's SWE-Bench Pro leaderboard, ma
Much of the conversation around AI coding is still centered on how fast machines can produce code. But code volume The post How the AC/DC framework helps teams govern AI coding agents appeared first on The New Stack.
The Helsinki startup, founded by Aiven’s Hannu Valtonen and Nosto’s Juha Valvanne, is betting that AI-generated code will overwhelm existing build pipelines. Helsinki startup Avrea emerged from stealth on Tuesday with $4.7m in pre-seed funding led by Earlybird, pitching itself as a faster, AI-aware
This is a submission for the Gemma 4 Challenge: Build with Gemma 4 Guild is a free, locally-running autonomous coding agent that works while you're away and backs off when you're present. The problem: cloud-based AI coding agents (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) require paid APIs, constant babysitting
This is a submission for the Gemma 4 Challenge: Build with Gemma 4. ContextForge is a developer tool that scans a codebase and generates practical, AI-ready project documentation using Gemma 4 through the Gemini API. The goal is simple: when a developer or AI coding agent opens a project, they shoul
JetBrains is making a new argument for why developers should care who owns their coding tools. Cursor is tying future The post JetBrains is selling independence as the rest of AI coding picks sides appeared first on The New Stack.
If you've been using Claude Code, Codex, or similar AI coding agents, you've probably felt the friction: you paste a prompt, watch the run, babysit the output, copy something into the next prompt, and repeat. It works, but it doesn't scale — and it definitely doesn't feel like working with a team. M
AI startups have been whipped by two shifts this year: the surge in AI coding and the increasing scarcity of computing power. Modal Labs is confronting both.
We have spent the last two years acting as high-priced data messengers between our browsers and our LLMs. At Google I/O 2026, Chrome quietly closed that loop, fundamentally changing how software gets built and verified locally. Every developer who uses an AI coding agent knows this exact feeling. Th
Resolve AI, the production-operations startup backed by Greylock and Lightspeed Venture Partners, today announced a sweeping expansion of its platform that introduces always-on background agents, a redesigned investigation architecture, and a shared workspace where engineers and AI agents collaborat
