"In February 2026, we returned, not to memorialize the past, but to confront a new inflection point: the shift to AI-native software development. Hosted by Martin Fowler and Thoughtworks, the event brought together a small group of practitioners, researchers and enterprise leaders to ask what responsible and effective software development looks like in an era defined by AI."

Tomasz Tunguz burned 84 million tokens on February 28th.

"This week, Alibaba released Qwen3.5-9B, an open-source model that matches Claude Opus 4.1 from December 2025. It runs locally on 12GB of RAM. Three months ago, this capability required a data center. Now it requires a power outlet."

Data Center Intelligence at the Price of a Laptop

Alibaba's Qwen3.5-9B matches December's frontier models & runs locally on 12GB RAM. A $5K laptop pays for itself in weeks at heavy usage.

"The first generation was accelerated autocomplete."

"The second generation introduced synchronous agents."

"The third generation introduced autonomous agents. These agents ..."

"You are building the factory that builds your software."

I'm still on "second generation". Am I falling behind?

The Factory Model: How Coding Agents Changed Software Engineering

Software engineering is not about writing code anymore. It is about building the factory that builds your software.

"That's why we open-sourced the Infrastructure Agents Guide -- 13 chapters covering architecture, sandboxing, credentials, change control, observability, policy guardrails, and more."

There's a lot to read here, and I've just started. Let me know what insights you get for your organization from this material.

Why We Open-Sourced Our Infrastructure Agent Architecture

The industry is adopting AI for infrastructure at wildly different speeds. The architectural guidance hasn't kept up with any of them. We talk to infrastructure teams every week. The spectrum of where they are with AI is striking. Some are still in copilot mode — autocomplete for Terraform, AI-assisted PR descriptions,

"Forty-four thousand developers don't click a star button by accident. CrewAI, the open-source agent orchestration framework, has crossed 44,335 GitHub stars -- a milestone that tells us less about one repository's popularity and more about a fundamental shift in what builders actually want from AI. They're done tinkering with solo agents. They want crews."

Peter Norvig used Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT to solve all the 2025 Advent of Code (AoC) puzzles.

"Overall, the LLMs did very well, producing code that gives the correct answer to every puzzle."

"I'm beginning to think I should use an LLM as an assistant for all my coding, not just as an experiment like this."`

I tried Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct.Q6_K locally with Ollama as the loader, asking it to create a simple Snake game in Python with Pygame and as an extra challenge, the instructions were given in German.

The game works well: the snake grows correctly, the grid and colors are fine. I just had to give the model a little nudge in two places:

- Don’t change the food color every frame
- Avoid recursive gameLoop() for "Play Again"

Qwen2.5 is a great co-pilot that handles most of the work, leaving only minor bugs to correct. German works surprisingly well ("Schlankkörpers" instead of "Schlangenkörper" does not matter, such errors can also occur in large models from time to time...) even though the main language is English. The model supports many programming languages such as: Python, C, C++, Java, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Bash, SQL… and more.

Conclusion: It still doesn't work completely without programming knowledge, but as a local assistant Qwen2.5-Coder is excellent.

btw my prompt was: "write the game again."

Video workflow:

- Recorded with OBS
- Edited in Kdenlive
- Transcoded with VAAPI (H.264)

No cloud, real hardware.
Everything runs on Linux + Text Generation Web UI (FOSS), so anyone can set this up.
No GPU? No problem, you can also run it using PyTorch’s CPU backend, just much slower.

VibeCodingBench: is an effort to benchmark AI coding models on what developers actually do. The developer considered SWE-bench to be invalid because it benchmarks bug fixes in Python repos, while developers actually use AI coding models for the auth flows, API integrations, CRUD dashboards, etc.
