If you think Agentic AI coding is the road to zero- or minimal-effort code in vast quantities? You are, as previously discussed in various blogs here, in for a world of hurt. Law 0 most definitely applies. What you get may do what you want, but you will have no clue what exactly it does, or how it does it, or what to do if the AI apocalypse hits and you can't afford the tokens to fix it. You don't get brilliant, secure, pretty, apps for free. Or even just for the cost of the tokens.
In regards to business activities you have another vector for potential data legislation headaches. That can be a security threat, data processing that is out-of-scope (or in breach of rights or consent) or even uncertainty about where your data goes and what actions are performed on it. This can lead to all sorts of problems.
If you are using almost any modern office tools you are likely using some form of […]
AI-assisted development has pretty much become the standard manner of software creation, especially greenfield projects or prototyping advancements and replacements. That is affecting how, and what, we consider the importance, or focus, is for software engineers. The balance between speed and what you create, or control, has fundamentally altered.
Because it isn't just about the competency, or the ability to do something with a degree of accuracy and efficiency; nor is it just speed, reproducibility or cost. it is about the experience and the emotional response, and by that I mean that having a lot of one will trigger the other.
There’s no escaping it, even if you wanted to. AI is here—from LinkedIn and Facebook through […]
We have left the dystopian lands of "move fast and break stuff" to a procedurally generated island surrounded by sharks, with cannibalistic natives eating any code that disagrees while playing dice with corporate environments.
