Let me start this by saying I am a big fan of coding agents; they help streamline code production. But based on the questions I get asked and the experiences people share with me, they are not used in the best way.

The promise of AI-powered coding assistants was supposed to make developers’ lives easier. Instead, it’s creating a new kind of burnout that’s catching the industry off guard. A revealing survey from Coddy shows 80% of developers now find AI coding tools more addictive than helpful, with many reporting they literally can’t stop using them even…

Aug. 21, 2026 — A new compression framework could make high-precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) atmospheric corrections easier to store, transmit, and use where ground networks are unavailable. The study introduces a training-free sparse representation method that reduces the data burden of global tropospheric grid models while preserving the accuracy needed to estimate zenith…

The Salesforce-owned messaging platform today announced Slack Code, a new product that embeds AI coding agents — including Anthropic’s Claude Code, Cognition’s Devin, GitHub Copilot, and Vercel’s agent — directly into dedicated Slack channels where entire teams can watch, steer, review, and ship software together. Slack Code is available on any Slack plan at launch,…

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has officially completed its acquisition of Cursor, the AI-powered coding assistant, the company recently confirmed. The deal follows an April agreement that gave SpaceX the option to acquire Cursor for $60 billion, according to reports by several media outlets.

Cursor, the startup that became famous for its AI coding tool, is now officially owned by SpaceX. The companies announced the acquisition in June, but the process apparently started in April, when they teamed up for Cursor’s model training efforts. In its announcement, Cursor said that it will now have access to “the largest fleet of GPUs…
