Test Creation Was Never the Bottleneck
Something specific happened to software delivery in the past two years. The 2026 survey data is unusually clear about what it was. Sonar’s 2026 State of Code Developer Survey found that AI-generated or AI-assisted code accounted for 42% of code committed by respondents, with developers projecting that share to reach 65% by 2027. GitLab’s 2026 […]
Flaw in DeepSeek Harness AI Coding Tool Let Agents Disable Their Sandbox
News of the now-fixed vulnerability comes amid growing concerns that AI vendors do not in have complete control of their autonomous agents.
Apica Adds AI Agents and MCP Server to Platform for Managing Telemetry Data
Apica today added an artificial intelligence (AI) agent and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to version 3.0 of its Ascent platform for managing telemetry data pipelines. Andi Mann, chief product and technology officer for Apica, said the AI agent, dubbed Venn, makes it possible for IT teams to use natural language rather than having to […]
From the Horse’s Mouth: Anthropic Says AI Has Changed the SDLC
Anthropic’s AI-native SDLC playbook argues that faster coding is shifting the bottleneck to planning, testing, governance, deployment and operations.
JFrog CEO: No One Cares About Source Code Anymore
JFrog CEO Shlomi Ben Haim told approximately 500 software engineers today that in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) no one will soon care much about source code anymore.
