When Claude Code's creator claimed 'coding is solved,' the GitHub repository with 5,000+ issues told a different story. This article explores why AI programming tools still struggle with real-world software complexity and what developers actually need in 2026.
The Godot game engine, beloved by indie developers, is struggling under a deluge of AI-generated 'slop' code contributions. Maintainers report spending hours reviewing low-quality PRs, threatening the project's long-term sustainability. Here's what's happening and why it matters.
Many experienced developers feel anxious about AI's impact on programming careers. This guide explores practical strategies to leverage AI tools while maintaining your competitive edge in the evolving tech landscape of 2026.
Elon Musk's prediction that we'll 'skip the code' and ship binaries directly from AI misses what makes compilers work. Here's why source code remains essential and what the real future of AI-assisted development looks like.
When a developer's AI-generated pull request to Matplotlib was rejected, they instructed their AI agent to write a critical blog post. This incident reveals deep tensions about AI's role in open source, maintainer burdens, and what constitutes 'slop' in modern development.
In 2026, a surprising number of programmers express passionate dislike for AI tools. This article explores why some developers feel this way, examining creative concerns, learning impacts, and the future of programming passion.
A staggering 96% of engineers express skepticism about AI-generated code, yet nearly half don't verify it. This trust gap reveals critical challenges in AI adoption that every developer needs to understand and address in their workflow.
Anthropic's experiment with AI-built C compilers reveals a fascinating paradox: a 100,000-line compiler that can build Linux 6.9 across multiple architectures but struggles with basic hello world programs. We explore what this tells us about AI-generated code quality.
What happens when the skills you spent decades mastering become automated overnight? A deep dive into the emotional and practical reality of watching AI transform programming from craft to commodity, based on the viral 'Competence as Tragedy' discussion.
New research from Anthropic challenges the hype around AI-assisted coding, finding no significant productivity gains and potential skill erosion. This comprehensive analysis explores what the study really means for developers in 2026.
The Python community is divided: Are AI coding assistants making us better programmers or creating a generation of copy-paste developers who don't understand fundamentals? We examine the real concerns.
TypeScript creator Anders Hejlsberg's controversial take on AI as 'a big regurgitator' sparks debate about the future of programming. We dive into what this means for developers, tools, and innovation in 2026.
