This Week I Learned - Week 18 2026

This Week I Learned -  * AI is influencing not only how fast code is written, but which languages and tools developers use. -  Octoverse 2025   *  GitHub Copilot CLI for Beginners -  * Apple's Support app update v5.13 accidentally included CLAUDE.md files , which are configuration documents used to guide Anthropic's Claude Code AI coding assistant on codebase architecture and rules. Apple quickly released v5.13.1 to remove the files, exposing a rare view into their use of third-party AI tools for app development while highlighting a build process oversight at the highly secretive company. * Claude sometimes refuses or postpones work based on inferred time/context, possibly to manage token limits, avoid rushed outputs, or simulate thoughtful behavior. * As A.I. makes the production of knowledge work more and more efficient, the job of presenting, debating, lobbying, arm-twisting, reassuring or just plain selling the work appears to be rising in importance. ...

Uncle Bob vs. Grady Booch: Rethinking Code Reviews in the Age of AI

Image
In response to a question about the feasibility of effective code reviews for large (e.g., 500-line) AI-generated PRs like those from Claude, especially when reviewers lack deep codebase familiarity in new projects or fast-paced environments, Uncle Bob Martin and Grady Booch have contrasting views Uncle Bob Martin advocates metrics-based oversight (test coverage, complexity, dependencies) and higher-level management over line-by-line AI code review, while Grady Booch stresses manual verification for vulnerabilities, dead code, and performance factors. Uncle Bob Martin : " I don’t review code written by agents . I measure things like test coverage, dependency structure, cyclomatic complexity, module sizes, mutation testing, etc.  Much can be inferred about the quality of the code from those metrics. The code itself I leave to the AI.  Humans are slow at code. To get productivity we humans need to disengage from code and manage from a higher level." Grady Booch : "Unlike B...
