Will Coding AI Tools Ever Reach Full Autonomy?
Can AI truly collaborate with human coders? Researchers highlight the hurdles and potential solutions in AI-driven software engineering.

I appreciate that replies are pointing out cookie banners are a form of malicious compliance by the adtech industry while also giving a history of Do Not Track headers and that the same industry killed them:

Look, Jeff Atwood, it is difficult to take you seriously when you write authoritatively on a subject you clearly don’t understand.
GDPR doesn’t mandate cookie notices.
Cookie notices are *malicious compliance* by the surveillance-driven adtech industry.

Takedown: How It's Done in Modern Coding Agent Exploits
Coding agents, which are LLM-driven agents specialized in software development, have become increasingly prevalent in modern programming environments. Unlike traditional AI coding assistants, which offer simple code completion and suggestions, modern coding agents tackle more complex tasks with greater autonomy, such as generating entire programs from natural language instructions. To enable such capabilities, modern coding agents incorporate extensive functionalities, which in turn raise signi…

The AI coding trap
If you ever watch someone “coding”, you might see them spending far more time staring into space than typing on their keyboard. No, they (probably) aren’t slacking off. Software development is fundamentally a practice of problem-solving, and so, as with solving a tricky crossword, most of the work is done in your head. […]
