Rails Founder DHH Abandons Hand-Coded Ruby for AI Agents at 37signals

David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails and CEO of 37signals, announced at Rails World 2026 that his company has officially stopped writing code by hand. Hansson declared that AI agents are now the default for development, with manual coding reserved only for fixing agent errors. This marks a sharp reversal for a figure known for championing handcrafted software, though he admitted that applying this method to legacy systems like Basecamp remains challenging.

OpenAI’s AI coding agents push researchers to spend thousands daily on tokens

OpenAI disclosed that researchers’ use of AI coding agents has surged, with the median daily token spend surpassing $600 and top users burning through more than $7,000 worth of tokens per day (as of mid‑August). The costs are based on inferred API prices and reflect how coding agents are accelerating development, debugging, and experimentation, helping OpenAI pursue a goal of an automated research intern by 2028 while highlighting concerns about cost and productivity in token-heavy workflows.

Torvalds backs AI-powered coding in Linux, inviting critics to fork or walk away

Linus Torvalds says Linux is not anti-AI and supports using AI coding tools to improve the Linux kernel, arguing the tech’s merit over fear; he tells detractors they can fork the project or walk away, framing the stance as pragmatic rather than ideological, with the Sashiko AI-assisted code-review system cited in the broader AI-in-open-source debate.

Perplexity Tests Internal AI Coding Assistant to Rival OpenAI and Cursor

Perplexity is quietly developing an internal AI coding tool called Teammate, in use by engineers since May to own projects, investigate issues, and monitor services. If released publicly, it would position Perplexity in the AI-coding race against Cursor, Anthropic, and OpenAI; the tool is model-agnostic and aimed at long-horizon software work like debugging and maintenance.

The AI Coding Reset: Engineers Reimagine Their Roles

AI coding tools like Claude and Codex are reshaping software work, and Business Insider’s Great Coding Reset shows engineers split into enthusiasts, skeptics, and those in-between. A 2025 Stack Overflow survey found about 60% hold a positive view of AI coding, but the picture is nuanced as many say coding is increasingly about understanding customers, products, and end-to-end business outcomes rather than just writing code. The piece profiles seven engineers worldwide—some embrace AI to boost productivity and leadership, others pivot to noncoding paths or warn of surveillance and displacement—illustrating a shift toward “mini business owners” who guide AI-driven development. It frames the era as a move from pure coding to orchestrating AI-enabled systems and strategies.

SpaceX to buy Cursor maker Anysphere for $60B in all-stock deal

SpaceX confirmed it will acquire Anysphere, the maker of Cursor, for $60 billion in an all‑stock transaction, expected to close in Q3 pending regulatory approvals. Cursor is an AI-powered code editor with features like a chatbot, code autocomplete, and autonomous AI agents, and the deal follows an earlier option that could have priced a Cursor partnership at about $10 billion. The move signals SpaceX’s push to expand in the enterprise AI market, with Cursor reportedly generating roughly $2.6 billion in annualized revenue.

Cursor bets big on SpaceX to power its AI coding empire

MIT-trained coder Michael Truell leads Cursor as its AI coding platform rockets in growth, pivots from heavy reliance on Anthropic to building its own Composer models, and threads a potential $60 billion SpaceX deal into the business plan, while financing expensive AI compute; the company, now around 700 employees and serving about 60% of the Fortune 500, has pursued aggressive hiring and a demanding, unpaid work-trial culture to sift top engineers even as it forges a high-stakes partnership with SpaceX.

Microsoft pivots away from Claude Code, bets big on Copilot CLI

Microsoft is winding down Claude Code licenses and transitioning thousands of its developers to GitHub Copilot CLI by the end of June, as part of a broader move to converge on Copilot CLI across the Experiences + Devices group for cost and integration reasons; Claude Code had been popular but undermined Copilot CLI, and Microsoft will continue to support Claude models via Copilot CLI and OpenAI/Anthropic models while investing in Copilot CLI improvements.

Microsoft Missed Cursor Bid as SpaceX Seals $60B AI Coding Deal

Microsoft reportedly explored acquiring Cursor, an AI coding startup, but did not lodge a formal bid before SpaceX moved to lock in rights to acquire Cursor for up to $60 billion. OpenAI also attempted to buy Cursor, but both offers were rejected as Cursor continued rapid growth. SpaceX’s deal offers two paths—an outright $60B purchase or a $10B joint-work arrangement—while the broader AI coding race accelerates with Codex and Claude Code; Microsoft’s Copilot remains a growth driver with millions of subscribers and upbeat analyst targets.

SpaceX Bets Big on Cursor to Power Its AI Coding Push

SpaceX agreed to acquire Cursor for up to $60 billion, or pay $10 billion for Cursor’s work if not acquired, linking SpaceX’s Colossus supercomputer to Cursor’s AI coding editor. Cursor, founded by MIT graduates, has drawn top backers like Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive Capital, and Nvidia, and counts Stripe, Coinbase, Discord, Salesforce, Neuralink, and Nvidia among its customers, while facing competition from Claude Code and other coding AIs. The deal signals a bold push to scale AI-powered coding using SpaceX and xAI infrastructure, including Cursor’s newer Cursor 3 product, amid broader market rivalry and strategic moves by SpaceX.

OpenAI Codex lands on Windows with native desktop for AI-powered coding

OpenAI has released a native Windows desktop app for Codex, its AI coding assistant that runs AI agents to write code from natural-language prompts. The Windows version follows the Mac release and supports planning, adjustable autonomy, access to local directories and GitHub, and a multi-chat interface for teams with per-action notifications. Competing tools include Claude Code and Google Antigravity, and although Codex is free with ChatGPT accounts, usage quotas can rapidly exhaust even paid plans.
