Well, at least, we can still spend 💸 and burn money 💰🔥 on Opus 😅

La directrice IA d'AMD a analysé près de 7 000 sessions Claude Code. Son verdict : l'outil ne sait plus réfléchir. Et Anthropic accumule les crises au pire moment.

My hot take on AI in engineering: It's an exoskeleton, not a replacement. 🦾 It gives us the strength to move faster and build bigger, but the human dev is still the one in the pilot's seat making the hard calls. Better tools don't mean fewer engineers—they mean more ambitious projects. 🛠️

2026 dev workflow: 8 Claude Code sessions running in parallel on one wide screen. Next logical step is obviously a cockpit setup with 2 ultra wides. No other way.

70% of Devin sessions are still human-triggered. Nader Dabit thinks that flips to 10/90 within a year. The interesting part: what engineers do changes more than what agents do. Less code, more system design for autonomous loops.

Imaginez 10 ans plus tard je sors une suite à Curvytron et je l’annonce un 1er avril ? Nan je rigole. Mais imaginez quand même : curvytron2.com

An agent writes 2,000 lines. It's 80% right. Your instinct says ship it. Wrong move. At Semji we now generate multiple implementations of the same feature, compare architectural trade-offs, then pick. Code is disposable. Judgment is the product.

Counter-intuitive: GPT-5.4 produces better frontends with LOW reasoning than high. When the model overthinks, it over-designs. Restraint beats intelligence. OpenAI's new frontend guide: strong constraints, moderate reasoning, ship. developers.openai.com/blog/designi...

OpenAI's Codex team starts meetings with unanswered questions. They fire off Codex threads in the background. 20 minutes later, answers are ready. Five or six questions per meeting, all handled by "little consultants working in the background." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo6G...

New practice at OpenAI: instead of debating trade-offs in a design doc, they spin up multiple implementations in parallel and pick the one that works best. When prototyping costs near-zero, "let's just try all three" beats "let's discuss which one." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo6G...

OpenAI's designers now ship more production code than engineers did 6 months ago. The models got good enough that designer-written code is mergeable as-is. Role boundaries aren't blurring. They're dissolving. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo6G...

More Magic Math from OpenAI? om.co/2026/03/23/m...

One PM runs the entire OpenAI Codex team. During a bug bash, he sent Codex to collect feedback, generate a Notion doc, file tickets in Linear, assign them, and follow up with everyone. One person doing the coordination work of five. AI doesn't just scale engineering. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo6G...

30 engineers. 450M users. No code reviews. No Scrum. No Agile. No TDD. WhatsApp's secret? Brian Acton reviewed your first PR in extreme detail. After that, you were trusted. Meanwhile, Skype had 1,000 engineers and lost. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kn3...

Stripe built devboxes that spin up in 10s, 3M tests, sub-5s linting... all for human engineers. Turns out AI agents love the exact same things. Their "Minions" now ship 1,300 PRs/week. Best AI investment? Great developer experience. blog.bytebytego.com/p/how-stripe...

What does Staff Engineer look like in 2027? When agents write most of the code, expertise shifts. Less code craftsmanship. More architecture, orchestration, and judgment. The title stays. The job is being rewritten in real time. newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/the-pulse-...

Claude Code now accounts for 4% of all public GitHub commits. DAUs doubled last month. This isn't an experiment. It's infrastructure. And it's 100% self-written. The tool that writes code is written by the code it writes. We're in a new era. 🔥 newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/building-c...

"Claude Code is now 100% written by Claude Code." - Boris Cherny, March 2026. → May 2025: 80% AI-generated → Dec 2025: 259 PRs in a month, zero IDE opened → Mar 2026: fully self-written The AI coding tool that improves itself. Let that sink in. 🔥

OpenAI just dropped GPT-5.4 mini and nano. The numbers: 400k context, 128k output, mini at $0.75/$4.50 per 1M tokens, nano at $0.20/$1.25. Nano edges past GPT-5 mini on SWE-Bench Pro. The small model race keeps accelerating.

Counter-intuitive: directors and senior leaders use Claude Code 2x more than junior devs. The people with the most context and judgment are going hardest on AI. Makes sense. AI amplifies expertise, it doesn't replace it.

Fêter 25 ans ensemble, c'était beau. Mais 2026 s'annonce difficile pour l'AFUP. Sponsors en retrait, billetteries en recul… Sans la communauté, il n'y a pas d'AFUP. On vous explique nos difficultés dans cet article, et on compte sur vous ! 💙 buff.ly/sh1OMTU

Spec Kit just hit 76.8k stars. The idea? Write specs, not code. Specifications become executable, AI agents do the implementation. 20+ agent integrations (Claude, Copilot, Cursor...). "Software engineering" is becoming "specification engineering" in real time.

New data point: token costs for building a production feature now cost less than a 30-minute planning meeting. If "just trying it" is cheaper than "planning it in detail", maybe we should prototype first, plan second.

OpenAI built 1M+ lines of code in 5 months with zero manually typed code. Their biggest challenge? Not the AI. It's "designing environments, feedback loops, and control systems." We're shifting from writing code to writing constraints.

Birgitta Böckeler nails it: the real engineering challenge with AI agents isn't prompting, it's building the harness. Linters, structural tests, context pipelines. The boring stuff that keeps agents from going off the rails.

Simon Willison stopped reading AI-generated code. His safety net? Tests. "Tests are effectively free. No longer even remotely optional." When agents write more code than you do, tests become the product.

Cursor just hit $2B in annual revenue. Doubled in 3 months. And they just launched Automations: agents that trigger from code changes, Slack messages, or timers. No human in the prompt loop. The IDE is becoming an OS for AI agents.

Steve Yegge nails it: the bottleneck for AI in engineering isn't the models. It's organizational absorptive capacity. QA, compliance, deployment — everything is calibrated for human-speed.

@pragmaticengineer.com just surveyed 906 devs. Claude Code went from zero to #1 AI coding tool in 8 months. Beating Copilot. Beating Cursor. 95% of devs use AI weekly now. The AI coding tool race might already be over and most people missed it. newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/ai-tooling...

At SemjiTech, when we plug Claude Code into #curvytron, we end up with a certain “Josiane” who learns to play live — and above all seems to take great pleasure in trolling us! 😄 Credits to @srogier.bsky.social for the initiative.

Devs de Lyon et des environs, on compte sur vous pour répondre à l'appel de l'AFUP Day 2026 Lyon ! Avec une sélection pareille, la journée s’annonce dense, variée et résolument tournée vers l’excellence. Rendez-vous à CPE le vendredi 22 mai, prenez vos places dès maintenant ! buff.ly/UtcubAQ

This meme is getting out of hand, but it's actually not far from reality 🤣

o3 just dropped—and it’s a monumental leap in AI capabilities. From blazing code gen to near-human performance on the ARC AGI test (yes, that test), it changes what we thought AI could do. Exciting? Absolutely. Terrifying? A bit. Hardware is now the real bottleneck. Buckle up! #AI #o3

It feels a bit like magic. Dyzon was dead again. 2 hours later, thanks to a 3D printer, everything is back to normal.

Did you know you can use the Gutenberg Block Editor in your app JS apps outside WordPress entirely. It's a use-case that is not talked about and used enough IMO, so it's not smooth 100% but we do have dedicated docs for it and eager to improve it. wordpress.org/gutenberg-fr...
