How does software engineering in IT looks as of May 2026?

✔️ AI AI AI

✔️ AI driven layoffs not 1 or 2 employees but it comes in thousands of layoffs at a time

✔️ package manager getting compromised is daily event

✔️ cloud provider blocks your account randomly using AI agents and AI support doesn't understand anything

✔️ github hacked and all code is available for sale

✔️ AI submitted low quality patches overwhelming FLOSS devs

what else am i missing?

@nixCraft every day is "Zero Day" day due to agents monitoring public git repos for bugfix commits and using LLMs to rapidly create exploits before downstream projects have time to patch.
