AI Coding Reading List
As the AI tooling landscape continues to evolve at breakneck speed, one thing is clear: developers, startups, and enterprise teams are navigating a dynamic mix of innovation, fragmentation, and growing pains.
In this week’s edition of the AI Coding Digest we’re diving into what this rapid evolution means in practice – from Google Cloud’s startup-focused AI insights, to the very real problem of LLMs hallucinating software dependencies.
We also look at Copilot’s steady rise amid the chaos, Google’s new standard for AI interoperability, and Andrew Ng’s call to stay grounded amid the hype. Plus the AI Daily Brief covers agent adoption and seven common mistakes to avoid.
Here’s what we’re reading this week:
AI Daily Brief: The 7 Biggest Mistakes Companies Are Making with AI and Agent Adoption
With Nathaniel Whittemore and Nufar Gaspar
According to Jellyfish’s Head of Research, Nicholas Acrolano, the AI Daily Brief podcast has quickly become the go-to source for many for daily AI news and updates. And in this recent episode, Arcolano claims he “felt very seen” because nearly all of the seven mistakes outlined in this episode are all too relatable.
Copilot’s Quiet Comeback
By Patrick Debois
According to Jellyfish advisor Adam Ferrari, “I’ve spoken to multiple VPEs who have decided to bet on Copilot and let Microsoft figure it out. At worst,” he adds, “it means you’ll be a quarter or two behind the cutting edge, but you also won’t be constantly churning your tools.”
LLMs can’t stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything
By Thomas Claburn
“This is an interesting and very valid concern,” says Adam Ferrari, “but one that’s certainly addressable in the long term, but it’s a real issue now.” Still we’re curious to know how common these hallucinations are with current models, though they might slow down the “full-on vibe coders.”
