This weekly update brings exciting news about AI coding agents becoming a normal part of how programmers work. A new report shows that over 90% of engineering leaders plan to use more AI coding tools soon. This means almost all programming teams want AI helpers in their work.

Experts think that by 2028, 75-90% of software engineers will use AI code assistants every day. This is a huge jump from just 15% using them a year or two ago. Think of it like how almost every programmer today uses basic tools - soon AI helpers will be just as common.

But these AI agents won't replace human programmers. Instead, they will work as assistants, not autonomous overlords. Programmers will still make the big decisions about what to build. The AI will help with boring, repetitive tasks so humans can focus on the creative and hard parts of coding.

A company in China called Zhipu AI created something called ComputerRL that can control computers like humans do. Their system got a 48.1% success rate on difficult computer tasks, beating even advanced AI models from OpenAI and Claude. This shows AI is getting better at using regular computer programs.

Another big trend is that custom applications will become normal instead of using the same big platforms everyone else uses. Since AI makes coding much faster and cheaper, companies can build exactly what they need instead of settling for generic tools. This could change how the whole software industry works, moving away from big tech platforms that control everything.
