@IndianaTux have you *looked* at what it sometimes produces? a human still has to review the code at this point.

interesting

AI is great until you decide to check what is has done

[Christian Fromme @_cfromme]

yes. not sure i've seen this put so accurately before

[Sebastian Sigl @sesigl]

You are describing the Paradox of Automation. The teams I've watched that adopted AI coding tools first thought they'd ship faster. But six months in, the problem surfaced: reviewing code takes time, approving becomes a bottleneck when output volume goes 3x, and the developers who shipped with AI never built the mental model of what they wrote.

The uncomfortable part is not that AI slows things down. It is that teams still measure velocity by the speed of code generation. They did not adjust the review culture, the testing strategy, or ownership. So you get fast code and slow confidence.

The ones that actually ship faster now? They changed what 'done' means. Code generation is a step in the pipeline, not the finish line. Spec clarity, test seams, code review discipline—those became the real constraint. AI just made it visible.

opus-4.7: generates 200 lines of perfectly reasonable local decisions
me: can we simplify?
opus: maybe rename a variable?
gpt-5.5: 🫡deletes 140 lines

peak intelligence = negative LOC, apparently

RESTful APIs may be dead soon. Instead, web services may expose a single POST entry point for a prompt. Internally, an AI agent may decide how to interpret it and what to do with the data and the database.

If your startup does not have a UUID microservice you’re ngmi

@Yuchenj_UW i find GPT-5.5 pretty useful at frontend? dunno, i'm a backend engineer

@samuelcolvin what did your context window look like?

[Christian Fromme @_cfromme]

the difference between vibe coding and agentic engineering is that in one of them you still plan to *read* the code later

[Christian Fromme @_cfromme]

nice. looks like @AnthropicAI did listen?

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

Over the past month, some of you reported Claude Code's quality had slipped. We investigated, and published a post-mortem on the three issues we found.

All are fixed in v2.1.116+ and we’ve reset usage limits for all subscribers.

"spyware" is a bit heavy in this case, as it isnt intended as such. but still concerning when --dangerously-skip-permissions seems to be the default

ouch: 'if a 3,167-line function with 486 branch points is what "100% AI-written" looks like at the company building the future, the future needs better engineering'
