The panic around AI replacing developers stems from misunderstanding what AI actually is. These systems aren't intelligent—they're sophisticated prediction engines that require human oversight, maintenance, and integration. Understanding this distinction changes everything about how we should approach AI in development.
The flawed metric of counting lines of code has returned to measure developer productivity in 2026, but with AI-generated code and new management tools, the situation is more dangerous than ever. Here's what's happening and how to push back.
PHP powers most of the web but faces constant criticism. We explore whether the hate stems from historical baggage, legitimate concerns, or just developer tribalism in 2026.
The complete disassembly and reverse engineering of the Atari 2600 Raiders of the Lost Ark source code reveals fascinating insights into early game development constraints and clever programming techniques that still inform modern development practices.
A developer with two years of experience discovers their junior coworker with just six months writes cleaner, more organized code. The secret? Building real projects from day one instead of endless tutorials. Here's why this approach works and how you can fix your learning path.
After years at version 6.x, Linus Torvalds has declared the next Linux kernel will be 7.0. This isn't just a number change—it signals important shifts in kernel development and has real implications for everyone from developers to system administrators.
After analyzing hundreds of OAuth implementations in 2026, I've identified the most common mistakes developers make with social authentication. Here's what you're probably getting wrong—and how to fix it before your users pay the price.
New research suggests 'vibe coding'—the trend of prioritizing aesthetics and personal expression over functionality—is eroding open source software quality. This comprehensive guide explores the phenomenon, its impact, and practical solutions for developers.
Garry Tan's viral productivity advice sparked intense debate in developer communities. We examine what 'vibe coding' really means in 2026 and provide practical strategies that work beyond the hype.
Vibe coding promises effortless development through intuition and flow states, but many developers find it leads to technical debt and poor quality. Here's why this approach fails and what actually works instead.
When your boss calls try-catch 'garbage,' they're tapping into a decades-old programming debate. We explore both sides, practical alternatives, and when exceptions actually make sense in modern development.
