Adobe is a wretched, exploitative company that loves generative AI. Many are coerced into paying money for their software and the software runs like garbage.
Why so many game developers don't want to use generative AI
With credits ranging from Dispatch and Marvel Rivals to Uncharted and Dragon Age, over 30 devs share their thoughts on gen AI
Cursor: AI coding agent

The Future of Software Engineering Isn’t What You Think
Over the past two decades, I’ve watched software eat the world, then hardware catch up, then Generative AI reshape both at the same time…
Why AI hasn’t replaced software engineers, and won’t
Coding agents as normal technology
The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription
I find this post by David Wilson very relatable. David lists 16+ projects he's spun up with AI tooling, and concludes: I didn't mean to build most of these things. …
Software Survival 3.0
I spent a lot of time writing software with AI last year, and I had some pretty good successes, notably Beads and Gas Town. I wrote a whole…
Where is all the new, good software?
Here's a question we see, especially from AI skeptics: if AI coding is so great, shouldn't we be seeing more new, good software by now? Here are some answ...

Empirical evidence of the educational harm of generative AI
What spec-driven development gets wrong
The most powerful AI software development platform with the industry-leading context engine.
The Eternal Sloptember
I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history. Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical model designed to mimic the distribution of programming. The output is broken, but in a way that’s getting harder and harder to detect. Which is exactly what you’d expect from an increasingly accurate statistical model.
The New Software Lifecycle
I co-wrote a Google whitepaper about how AI is changing the software lifecycle. I'm not going to summarize the whole thing. Instead, here are the handful of ...
AI Tools Accelerates Coding, but Not Overall Software Delivery, GitLab Research Finds
GitLab's 2026 AI Accountability Report highlights an AI Paradox: although 78% of developers say they code faster, overall software delivery has not accelerated due to downstream testing and review bottlenecks and new challenges for enterprise governance and traceability.
AI Is Killing Microsoft
Microsoft's AI assistant, Copilot, is struggling to show traction, causing the tech giant to continue falling behind. Investors are not happy.
I don't know if I like working at higher levels of abstraction
AI tools push us to higher abstraction. I'm not sure I like what that costs us.
