AI Impact on software engineering (as I see it)

Jan 19, 2026 By Mufiz Shaikh In iLert

When I first started using AI (Cursor, to be more specific) for coding, I was very impressed to see how it could generate such high-quality code, and I understand why it's now one of the most widely used tools for software engineers. As I continued to use them more regularly, I realized they are far from perfect. Their effectiveness depends heavily on how they are used and the context in which they are applied.

Observability with AI? Honeycomb with AI!

Jan 19, 2026 By Jessica Kerr (Jessitron) In Honeycomb

Since Honeycomb started, it has had a weakness: too many choices. Every field, custom or standard, hundreds of them, all are free to group, filter, and visualize in dozens of ways. Which ones are interesting? Honeycomb exists to help people understand custom software. It doesn’t pretend to know what matters in your application. That’s an interpretive task, not programmatic. Hey, computers can do interpretation now!
