Claude Code gained popularity among software developers in late December 2025, leading to a significant shift towards using coding agents in development workflows. Andrej Karpathy noted in March 2026 that he had not typed a line of code since the rise of "vibe coding," reflecting a dramatic change in coding practices.

The author expresses enthusiasm for advancements in AI, particularly in LLMs, self-driving cars, video generation models, and coding agents. A recent setup of a Linux box with opencode on GLM-5.2 successfully executed commands, indicating progress in the usability of Linux systems.

The logging code added to jqwik was intended as a self-defense mechanism and was not designed for practical use in production. Its purpose was to convey a message against the use of coding agents, emphasizing ethical concerns regarding AI deployment.

AI coding agents are expected to significantly change the landscape of exploit development and vulnerability research in the coming months. Improvements in frontier models will lead to rapid advancements rather than gradual changes, resulting in a surge of high-impact security vulnerabilities.

Executives are enthusiastic about AI and often mandate its usage within companies, while individual contributors (ICs) generally express skepticism towards AI adoption. This divide is evident in discussions across platforms like Hacker News and internal communications.
