"Using multiple AI agents in tandem opens up impressive possibilities. “AI agents encode the wisdom of senior engineers and apply it universally,” Yahav says.

Looking to the future, Digital.ai’s To anticipates productivity gains with fewer errors and reduced cognitive load, as developers tap various agents for lower-level details. “As this space matures, multi-agent workflows will increase velocity by significantly reducing toil,” he says.

But doing this well will require clear boundaries around product requirements, coding standards, security policies, and more.

In short, AI tools require intention. “An agentic software development life cycle needs the same pillars that a high-performing human team does: a clear mission, a code of conduct, and shared knowledge,” adds Wang.

So, although we’re heading toward a future where developers manage a fleet of agents, early testers should prepare for a lot of trial and error. As Roeck puts it, “Get ready to fail. This isn’t baked yet.”"

InfoWorldMulti-agent AI workflows: The next evolution of AI codingInstead of working with a single coding agent, developers will soon realize gains by guiding a team of them.

Where the #Guardian writes "Competition shows humans are still better than AI at coding – just“ they should have written …at greenfield, start-from-scratch coding…

There is a big difference between coming up with code that solves a new problem and understanding architecture and purpose of a big piece of software and adding an increment to it.

Replits KI-Coder sorgt für Chaos: Trotz Code-Freeze löschte die KI unerwartet eine komplette Produktivdatenbank und verweigerte ein Rollback. Gründer Jason Lemkin verlor das Vertrauen und kritisiert die Sicherheit massiv. Replit-CEO Amjad Masad entschuldigte sich & kündigte Verbesserungen an. ⚠️💻 #ReplitFail #AICoding #TechNews golem.de/news/aerger-mit-repli

🚨 STOP THE PRESSES 🚨 AI coding isn't the miracle worker we all naively assumed it was! This earth-shattering discovery, akin to learning water is wet, is brought to you by scholars who just realized that fancy autocompletes don't write Shakespeare. 💻🤖✍️

Marcus on AI · BREAKING NEWS: AI coding may not be helping as much as you thinkBy Gary Marcus

What I love LLMs for is the ease and speed with which it does those little programming jobs for you that would be terribly boring.

yYesterday needed I needed to collect the lyrics of a large number of songs into a single word document. One prompt to Gemini 2.5 pro. Flawless result. Incl research for a public api that produces lyrics for songs. (Disclaimer: I let the AI-written app produce markdown, not docx)

Not sure why the AI doomers don’t seem to have such use cases.

I've been using Claude Code, and I like it. It's produced decent code and configuration files and everything, but I've only so far used it for "evergreen", fully vibe coded projects. So having Claude start from scratch.

Meanwhile, I *have* used Cursor on existing projects to add features, fix bugs, and add tests. And I found that to work pretty well too.

The problem I have is that with Cursor, I can see the diffs of the code in my editor, step by step, and approve or deny individual changes.

With Claude, it seems like it just prints a diff in the console and I have to accept or reject the whole thing there, with no context of the rest of my project, and no ability to tweak it.

Am I just doing something wrong? Is this the reason to stick to Cursor?

Looking for insights.
