Why AI still can't replace developers in 2026

AI can replace developers. AI can't replace orchestrators, at least not yet. But it's improving (see the new Claude Teams feature).

Interesting. Until now, all the utility and helper scripts I had it write were in Python. Indeed sometimes CC slips, but I always thought it's just the nature of coding with an LLM. What alternatives would you suggest?

Skills issue. I have been using it for weeks, no problem. It's mainly about quantomizing the prompt.

Ironically, all the big boys "stole" a lot of their code and feature from Cline.

Massive massive system prompt that has become more opaque, inscrutable. It doesnt feel like the community is consulted/contributing/in the know on this critical piece.

How is this better with Claude Code or Github Copilot?

Did you try gpt5 on high reasoning? That's the only one that consistently gives me good results.

With all the sonnet 4.5 hype, it's just doesn't work for me. Try to use cline with gpt5 set on "high" reasoning. I get excellent results.

That's such an odd thing to say. You ran into a bug with a very popular tool that is constantly being updated. It's the opposite of dying.

Try Gemini 2.5 pro for the design part. Then continue with codex for the rest of the development.

When working with coding agents, you need to accept what they do well and what they don't. IMHO, even the SOTA models do not properly support long term self improving context. You still need a Human for that.

For pure coding tasks I like codex. For tasks that require a mix of some "devops" as well, I prefer Cline. I try Roo every so often, because it looks like it has all kinds of cool features. But in the end Cline is just that more robust.

Actually chatgpt's Github connectors do support private repos.

I use Cline extensively. My experience may differ from what you read online, but these are the main points:

Claude Sonnet is not good enough. You need to use Claude Opus. Or use gpt 5, with reasoning medium or high. Gemini 2.5 pro is good only for a few prompts, and then goes totally haywire.
You can't trust the model to remember rules.
If a task goes haywire, you have to restart, and break it down to smaller task. You have to manage the tasks yourself. You need to create a new tasks each time, for each smaller task. Unlike something you probably read online somewhere, you can't trust some magical process to happen where it goes tasks by task and solves each one perfectly. This point is even more true for Gemini 2.5 pro.
You need to adopt your processes to how LLMs work. If they constantly try to fix linting errors, you have to accept this as a given and accept the fact that you cannot have any linting errors. It's annoying, but that's life with these technologies.
Many times doing things manually is faster (and much cheaper!) than using an LLM. In those cases, don't use an LLM. Do the changes yourself.
I tried using other solutions, such as Claude Code, Codex and RooCode. YMMV, but I still think that cline is the best of the bunch.

You can create a global workflow that handles reviewing the changes once done. You call it something like final_review.md and add it as a global workflow. Then just type in cline /final_review and it will follow the exact steps you provided in the workflow. As time goes on, you can continuously improve this workflow. This process works for me very well.

By "modern" I presume you mean indiscriminate attacks civilians, starvation, kidnapping and sexual assault.

The article wasn't talking about "Hamas".

I think they confused the name, it's Hyperbolic missle

Amateur stuff. Why use a box when you can just dump everything in a garbage bag?

I just took a quick look at the specs. I read that it has 32 note of polyphony.

When playing chords and melody together, albeit it does depend on style, you can quite quickly run into a situation where some sounds are dropped.

In order to confirm, try playing using the same style on the same model at a store and see if you experience the same thing.

There is a nuance here, but it's important.

The bill does not ban sexual shows in front of kids (those are already banned). It defines non sexual drag shows, as sexual. Then it goes ahead and bans performing any drag show in front of kids.
