AI-Generated Code Needs Refactoring, Say 76% of Developers. Claude, Supermaven & Cursor users are much more likely to say they had a positive experience than users of other AI-based developer tools. For more info, check out: thenewstack.io/ai-generated-c…

33% said AI is responsible for an increase in technical headcount in 2025, as compared to 12% saying it is causing a decline, per a new The Linux Foundation survey. Most commonly, the increase is impacting AI-specific roles like AI/ML operations engineers.

Cursor, Windsurf and GitHub Copliot all work best when using… Claude Sonnet. Devs started to ditch Windsurf when it didn’t have access to the latest Sonnet 4.0 model (and Cursor gained tons of market share when Copliot delayed adding Sonnet as a model for 3 months, mid-2024)

ICYMI: Claude, Supermaven and Cursor users are much more likely to say they had a positive experience than users of other AI-based developer tools. Users of Google Gemini, JetBrains AI and Meta’s Llama are much less likely to report having a positive experience with those

Nate Benaich is running a survey for his upcoming State of AI report and it's pretty comprehensive. Figured I'd share if you want to give your two cents as well. airstreet.typeform.com/survey

Since 2023, software engineers (developers) have been less keen to leave their Big Tech jobs. Note that of these companies, only Microsoft has seen a slight decline in total dev headcount. newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/state-of-the…

A recent report indicates that companies want to repatriate SOME workloads to private clouds but are lack in-house skills to manage these cloud environments. NOTE, they are focused apps that have 1) security/compliance needs; 2) are data intensive; and 3) are integrated with

The bubble right now is in quantum computing, SMR and other gamma-squeezed retail pumps. And to some extent in select frothy large-caps. AI infra contains a few expensive names, but also a bunch going for <20x 2027 EPS if spending forecasts from major players are close to right.
