A research team rebuilt the entire Linux kernel in three weeks with 100 agents and $150,000 in tokens. The work didn't shrink. Something else changed.
Unreliable Witnesses — Somewhere in the PR thread, the agent says fixed and you say ship it, and both of you avoid the part where the bug left without a forwarding address. It works. Neither witness is reliable.

Two screenshots, one hand-coded and one written by an AI agent. In Chris Bingham's internal poll at Fujitsu, about 75% could not tell which was which.

He cut his Anthropic spend way down and shifted to Cursor and xAI. The reason is what he ships: projects used to stall at 90 percent done.

Where did the team’s AI quota go? Tempr’s OpenAI-compatible Gateway logs help you audit which IDE chats and completions consumed it, so usage reviews start with request data. #AICoding #DevTools https://temprhq.io
Twenty-five years of writing code, and in March he stopped. He's not bitter about it either. His take on what the job becomes next is worth hearing.
