"In recent episodes, Harry made a claim that the path to AI profitability runs through labor replacement. “Stop paying $1M in salaries by paying $100K for this AI-based service.” Simple. Clean. Measurable.
And woefully incomplete." by Kent Beck

Endor Labs just released AURI, a free tool that scans AI‑generated code for hidden vulnerabilities. A recent study shows only 10% of AI‑written code is secure, so developers need better safeguards. Try AURI and help raise the security bar for open‑source AI projects. #AICodeSecurity #AURI #EndorLabs #AIcodingAssistants

The arrival of AI coding assistants in educational settings presents a paradigm shift, introducing a "new kid in the classroom" for both students and instructors. Thus, understanding the perceptions of these key actors about this new dynamic is critical. This exploratory study contributes to this area by investigating how these tools are shaping the experiences of novice programmers in an introductory programming course. Through a two-part exam, we investigated student perceptions by first providing access to AI support for a programming task and then requiring an extension of the solution without it. We collected Likert-scale and open-ended responses from 20 students to understand their perceptions on the challenges they faced. Our findings reveal that students perceived AI tools as helpful for grasping code concepts and boosting their confidence during the initial development phase. However, a noticeable difficulty emerged when students were asked to work unaided, pointing to potential overreliance and gaps in foundational knowledge transfer. These insights highlight a critical need for new pedagogical approaches that integrate AI effectively while effectively enhancing core programming skills, rather than impersonating them.
