• Rust may be the best language for AI agents to write, because the compiler gives an agent the feedback that tells it what to fix. ARAlice Ryhl20 May 2026
• What trips up newcomers to Rust is not the code but the shape of their data. ARAlice Ryhl20 May 2026
• Writing code with a coding agent and no tests at all is indefensible, because the old objection to testing — that it is extra work you then have to maintain — no longer applies. SWSimon Willison19 Mar 2026
• The idea that AI will destroy software and make tools unnecessary is ridiculous: an agent, like a humanoid in your kitchen, will use the tools that already exist. JHJensen Huang23 Mar 2026
• Agent-written code that runs and passes its tests is not enough: security, maintainability and being able to roll it back still need humans in the loop. TFTony Fadell7 Jun 2026
