QA [quality assurance] has always been kind of broken. As AI transforms code generation, traditional QA approaches fall short. Jennifer Sand, CEO & co-founder of Codential, explores the necessity for a new quality framework to address issues in AI-created code. ainativedev.io/news/beyond-...

AI hates legacy code. AI coding agents feel like magic... right up until they collide with production code. For teams maintaining legacy systems, these agents often hallucinate APIs, run off on tangents, and shatter trust faster than an unreviewed hotfix at 5pm. 🧵 1/3

At DevCon in Nov 18-19, Ray Myers will go over emerging strategies for improving the accuracy of coding agents on real codebases, benchmarks such as SWE-bench that evaluate our progress, and their limitations. 🧵 2/3

Specs are becoming the new code. @jedi.be just dropped his insights on spec-driven development, and it's essential reading for anyone building with AI agents. The core insight? We're shifting from telling AI how to code to describing what we want built. Read the full piece: ainativedev.co/94af0c

AI models claim to be best at coding, but benchmarks don't tell the full story. Adam Larson spent 2024-25 building custom tools to test these claims. Nov 19 at DevCon NYC, Adam will share what actually matters when choosing AI coding tools — beyond the hype. 👉 Register at: ainativedev.co/px8

Here are some of our wonderful speakers Expect deep dives, live demos, and unfiltered conversations on how AI is reshaping the craft of software development, from agentic systems and specs to review workflows and human-in-the-loop design. Head over to ainativedev.io/devcon to see the full line up!

Prompts are temporary. Specs are forever. OpenAI’s Sean Grove calls specs the “new code.” They force you to decide what good output looks like before you run the AI. Think reusable clauses, version control, IDEs that validate your spec as you write. 🧵 #AINativeDev #AIEngineering

AI coding tools are powerful, but without structure, they drift. Claude Taskmaster attempts to fix that, and its growth has been explosive. In just 9 weeks the repo's jumped from 0 → 15,500 stars 🌟

Why code alone isn’t enough anymore 🚫💻 Most AI tools today just help us write more code, but the real shift is moving beyond code as the source of truth. At our first London meetup, we dug into a better approach: spec-driven development.

Structure > force. One structured prompt = same accuracy as eight unstructured ones (via Will Kurt, .txt). For Claude Code users: clearer specs mean faster output, less context bloat, reusable prompts. 🔗 Read how specs can elevate your coding workflow. ainativedev.co/bm3 #ClaudeCode #SpecDriven

Agent-based coding ≠ just pair programming anymore. We’re seeing something bigger: ▪️ Parallel agents handling subtasks ▪️ Isolated envs via git worktrees + containers ▪️ New UIs for merge + review 🔗 Your guide to parallelizing AI coding agents: ainativedev.co/tg5 #ainativedev #aiagents

Parallel coding agents are changing the Developer workflow. With tools like Claude code we are exploring parallelization strategies like using git worktrees and containers. All for us to review what we want while the agents do the hard work! #AINativeDev #DevTools #DevOps

“Vibe coding” with real UI context? Stagewise is an open-source VS Code extension that lets you click on a live UI element and prompt an AI to change it. It pipes in HTML, screenshots, and context, so the AI knows exactly what you mean. It’s early, but promising! #AINativeDev #FrontendDev
