AI doesn’t make attackers smarter, it makes attacks easier! 🥷 Mackenzie Jackson, Developer and Security Advocate at @AikidoSecurity said that AI may not be great at catching bugs, BUT it IS great at understanding context, prioritizing risk and helping teams regain control. Breaches aren’t evolving - people and access are still the weak point. AI just makes it obvious which fires are worth putting out.

"For eight years, I was the only one excited to talk about accessibility - until it became law last year, everyone joined in, and I felt... hollow." 😢 Andrea Mihaljević, Software Engineer at @Infobip, shares what it felt like to advocate for accessibility for almost a decade, only to see it taken seriously once it became law. So in the end, is it more important to care deeply about accessibility or to quietly ship products that work for everyone: go.infobip.com/4lJ0Ek5

How is your CTOs feeling about AI? 🤔 Well, according to Andy Skipper, founder of @CTOCraft, they’re experiencing fear, uncertainty and doubt. And if the technical leaders of companies are feeling that way, what can the rest of us expect? That’s why we sat down with Skipper to talk about how CTOs should manage expectations for AI and how to navigate the hype versus reality: go.infobip.com/3PlWeU0

At Uber, AI agents aren’t just helping engineers write code, they’re getting assigned tasks. At the Pragmatic Summit, @Uber Director of Engineering, Anshu Chadha and Principal Engineer, Ty Smith, shared how engineers are starting to delegate work like code migrations, upgrades, bug fixes and documentation to AI agents. Instead of just generating code, agents can take a prompt and return a ready pull request in minutes through Uber’s internal system, Minions. Engineers review the output, while the agents handle the repetitive work. See how it works in practice: go.infobip.com/4bclAw3

Last week, a Python library called chardet turned into the biggest open source fight online. Its maintainer used AI to rewrite it and switch the license from LGPL to MIT. The original author returned to the internet after 15 years to object. Hundreds of comments later, everyone was talking past each other. The real problem? Clean-room reimplementation (the legal doctrine meant for exactly this) is effectively dead.

Ever walked into a dev team meeting and realized you’re the only woman in the room? 🙃 For many female engineers, that moment isn’t unusual. Being the only woman on a team can come with a few extras in the job description — subtle stereotypes, unexpected expectations and the feeling that your mistakes (and successes) are a liiiiittle more visible than everyone else’s. Just in time for Women’s Day, Oliwia Mlonek, Software Engineer at @Infobip, shares her own experience of navigating the industry as a lone female developer and what she’s learned along the way: go.infobip.com/4beGpG9

Meetings in 2026 be like: “Let’s add an agent with MCP, RAG and a larger context window.” Everyone: 😁👍 Also everyone: 😥❓ If you’ve ever nodded along in an AI meeting hoping nobody asks follow-ups, don't worry, we got you: go.infobip.com/4725Lpt

"Six months ago, if someone had told me engineers would start naming their AI agents and leaving sticky notes for them, I probably would’ve rolled my eyes…" Our Ivan Brezak Brkan went to the Pragmatic Summit in San Francisco got the inside scoop on what’s happening at @OpenAI right now. But Vijaye Raji and Thibaut Sottiaux from OpenAI say AI is turning coding into more of a “team management” gig - setting goals, defining guardrails and letting AI run the heavy lifting, while keeping engineers firmly in the loop: go.infobip.com/4rO2m5L

When someone uses AI to clone your product before you’ve finished your second espresso, you know the game has changed. 😬 Chip Huyen (@chipro), former Stanford lecturer, ex-NVIDIA core dev and AI engineering author, shared a moment that flipped her thinking. After building a product, someone AI-generated a near-identical copy and emailed it to her with a friendly “I love what you made.” That bizarre blend of flattery and “why the heck?” triggered a realization - if building is cheap and copying is easy, the question changes from "how to build it" to "whether we should": go.infobip.com/3N7wKZP

We tried rebuilding an autonomous AI agent, fully expecting hype, half expecting chaos. 🙃 OpenClaw was impressive on its own, but the real breakthrough came when we plugged a similar setup into Infobip messaging channels. Josip Antoliš, Principal Engineer at @Infobip, shares what worked, what didn’t and why this was a fun experiment: go.infobip.com/3ZVtXpu

What if your cosy corner of the dev blogging universe just got hit by “strategic evolution”? 💥 @ThePracticalDev, that community-driven network where you’ve amassed claps, followers and maybe a few hot takes, has officially been acquired by @MLHacks, the folks who run global hackathons, fellowships, and programs for builders of all skill levels. We asked some active authors how they see this situation and what they expect: go.infobip.com/3MXDOrO

Guys, we get it… goals often feel like extra homework (and corpo BS), but they really don’t have to feel that way! And that’s coming from one Software Engineer to all you other devheads. 🙃 Piotr Machner, Staff Software Engineer at @Infobip, shares what he did to change his mindset about it: go.infobip.com/4aIGNMC

This CTO Says 93% of Developers Use AI, but Productivity Is Still 10%! Laura Tacho, CTO at DX, executive advisor, and Austrian Innovator of the Year, presented her latest research at this year’s Pragmatic Summit. The first thing most people think of with AI assistance is saving time. According to her research, developers say they’re saving about 4 hours a week. The twist? Overall productivity gains are still hovering around 10%. 🥴 Want to see the data behind the AI productivity debate? Take a look, the numbers might surprise you: go.infobip.com/4qQ1bBF

That fear of vulnerability can hold talented engineers back. But here’s the thing: embracing the “stupid” questions is one of the best things you can do for your personal growth! From one dev to another, you are not alone. 🫂 Next time you doubt yourself or hesitate to ask THAT question, read this: go.infobip.com/4amIroh

Is AI making developers more productive or quietly making them irrelevant? 😶 In 2025, Sonar surveyed over 1.100 developers worldwide to see how software engineering is evolving. The number of AI-assisted coding is expected to rise to 65% within two years. Yet 96% of developers, according to this Sonar research, say they don’t fully trust AI-generated code. Check out the survey results and share your thoughts with us: go.infobip.com/4adoT5J

Don't make kitty angry... Look, we tried rational arguments. Now we’re trying cute animals and peer pressure. 😼 Get the tickets MEOW: go.infobip.com/4bxfabm #ShiftZadar2026 #ShiftConference #InfobipShift #developerconference

Remember when product teams meant PMs handing tickets to devs, designers dropping mockups and QA hunting bugs like it’s Pokémon GO? The future is now, old man! 👴 AI is breaking the old workflow. PMs are becoming intent architects, engineers are guarding architecture instead of grinding boilerplate, designers are reviewing AI output in real time and QA is building self-healing systems. Basically, everyone’s job just got a lot more strategic. See how product teams are evolving: go.infobip.com/3O7HNlY
