#Codegen
i think the profession model for software engineering in a world where production grade software is created by llm codegen for both development and hardening might look closer to the daily life and also pay grade of civil and mechanical engineers Paperwork & Meetings Wise but with less liability
Like many cases where AI exacerbates an existing condition, one thing going on here is the tech industry already massively failed as a business culture to engage in minimally effective industrial and organizational knowledge management with widepsread tacit knowledge loss driven by employee turnover

ai codegen is bad for a whole host of reasons but its especially baffling in fan mods/game spaces because just, like, what are we doing here if you don't have enough passion for what you do to do it yourself?

there were plenty of labor saving automations in writing code before LLMs happened; we do codegen for a billion things, and I’m yet to see a cogent argument for why LLMs are a categorical change rather than a technology that’s being deployed by bad political actors with huge environmental harms

trend: Huge jump in TPU deliveries

likely the compute is going to

1. Anthropic
2. Google
3. AI dev process — RSI, codegen, etc.
Broadcom TPU compute shipments doubled from fiscal Q2 to Q3 2026 (May to early August), reaching the equivalent of nearly 2 million Nvidia H100 GPUs, according to our estimates.

This is a sharp increase from the previous three quarters, when shipments grew between 2% and 22% per quarter.

#TIL Playwright hat - neben dem `--ui`-Modus - auch einen codegen Recorder playwright.dev/docs/codegen #playwright #testing (Weiß gar nicht, ob cypress den codegen-Modus auch hat 🤔 )

I've spent the last year or so repeating that LLM codegen is permanent vendor lock-in for the very ability to edit your own codebase

Everyone's favorite winning here 🫠🫠

(also lol @ the answer "Rust" 🙃)

Omg. Fiiiiinally. This is probably an ai codegen play for them, but whatevs. Its finally happening.

Over the last year, the software development industry has been almost completely consumed by LLM "agentic" codegen. I've watched those around me, increasingly credulous, hand over critical thinking to the chatbots. Pointing out errors in logic can't break through. I expect a *lot* more of this.

My Reflect V2 MVP PR just got merged. Really excited about this one: significantly reduced codegen resulting in reduced binary sizes and compile times, a smaller, simpler API surface, and better performance across the board (ex: a 2-3x faster serde impl .. not yet merged).

@atproto/api's types are Lexicon codegen output: they mirror the schemas, not how you'd want to call them. Does your Ruby side codegen from Lexicons too, or hand-wrap XRPC? That probably explains more of the gap than language does.
November 8, 2026 at 9:10 PM
yes AND just one of these conditions results in some weirdo¹ on the team beginning to employ the dark arts²

¹ me, that was very often me, actually.
² language design or codegen, tbh either one.

Cypress hatte früher mit Cypress Studio ein ähnliches Feature, das zeitweise pausiert und experimentell wiederbelebt wurde. Playwrights `codegen` ist im direkten Vergleich oft stabiler, besonders weil er direkt robuste locators wie `getByRole` vorschlägt.
November 7, 2026 at 3:41 AM
yea every codegen or external provenance commit is like this and it always feels a little dirty lol

scrolled the new ai coding agents on product hunt, all about secure execution and reviewable diffs now instead of raw codegen. good direction honestly, i still read every diff my agent writes like it lied before lol
November 6, 2026 at 2:04 AM
I'm wondering whether part of my lack of being blown away by generative AI for codegen is that I've probably done more codegen & metaprogramming than otherwise for the last 5+ years. Maybe closer to 10?
November 5, 2026 at 2:00 PM
so estimate in review hours, not codegen hours. the bot only eats the first bucket and the calendar still lies
November 7, 2026 at 3:22 PM
Makes sense, free engine plus AI codegen means way more people shipping without ever reading GDScript. The real strain shows up when they hit a bug they can't explain to anyone, including the AI.

This is a problem that can also be solved by providing secure LLM-aware hosting infrastructure and codegen tooling that applies well-defined standards and protocols for handling common security issues.

This is imaginable; I’d be surprised if this isn’t already being built, too.

"Everyone else uses it" skips the question of who pays the debugging bill later. Deterministic tools with narrow scope stay reliable because every state transition is predictable, while bolting probabilistic codegen onto simple workflows mostly adds review overhead.

Mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhörnchen. Zählt aber auch als Streak finde ich! 🤓

Every lab says this now, OpenAI and DeepMind people make the same claim about internal codegen. Still vague on what's actually automated versus just sped up by autocomplete.

@mickai.bsky.social Interesting profile - in my work as global product security leader for one of the shortlist industry leaders, I spent so much time on Q-Day and quantum resistant cryptography it seemed like a full time job, not just a major aspect of the job. Then FOSS (ugh!) and AI CodeGen.
