A new phenomenon called 'vibe coding' is emerging where developers rely entirely on AI tools without understanding the underlying code. This approach creates massive technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and team conflicts that threaten software quality.
Linus Torvalds recently sparked intense debate by declaring that the 'AI slop' problem in code generation won't be solved with documentation. This article explores what he really means, why documentation fails as a solution, and what developers should actually focus on in 2026.
The software craftsmanship movement promised pride in our work, but in 2026, developers face AI-generated code, business pressure for speed, and disappearing craft. Here's what's really happening and how to navigate it.
Stack Overflow's monthly question volume has been in steady decline since its 2020 peak. This article explores the data, analyzes the community's theories from Reddit discussions, and examines what this fundamental shift means for how developers learn and solve problems in 2026.
Despite predictions of its decline, C++ continues to grow faster than ever. This article explores why software demands outpace hardware improvements, why safety concerns haven't killed C++, and what this means for developers in 2026.
Every developer has that one project—the one sitting in the projects folder, 90% complete but never shipped. As we enter 2026, let's make this the year we break the cycle and get our creations out into the world.
Modern software like Discord consuming 800MB RAM while idle highlights a systemic issue with bloat. This article explores the technical and business reasons behind bloated software and offers practical solutions for users and developers in 2025.
When a Microsoft engineer's LinkedIn post about rewriting Windows 11 with AI went viral, it sparked outrage and confusion. We break down what really happened, Microsoft's response, and what this means for the future of software development.
Despite the hype, studies reveal AI-generated code contains significantly more bugs and security vulnerabilities than human-written code. This comprehensive guide explores why AI coding tools fail, how to spot their mistakes, and strategies for using them effectively without compromising quality.
Getting paged at 2 AM is bad enough without having to decipher clever code you wrote months ago. Learn practical strategies for writing code that's actually understandable when you're half-asleep and under pressure.
A software developer saved a clinic $30k annually not with complex AI, but by observing their actual workflow and implementing simple automation. This article explores why watching how people actually work is more valuable than assuming what they need.
AWS CEO Adam Selipsky recently called the idea of replacing junior developers with AI 'one of the dumbest ideas.' This article explores why AI is a tool for developers, not a replacement, and what this means for the future of software engineering careers.
