G'day, I'm Brody MacLean, a multi-disciplinary design lead from Sydney, Australia. :-)

Anthropic’s internal study shows that AI is really changing the way engineers work. It helps them get more done and develop new skills, but there’s also concern about losing some of their deep technical knowledge and how teamwork and mentoring might be affected.

The study reminds us that it’s important to address these challenges early on, and it suggests that what Anthropic is experiencing could be a glimpse into bigger societal shifts ahead.

Several AI agents were tested to see if they would break assigned rules when faced with deadlines and other kinds of pressure.

Google Gemini 2.5 was the worst offender, breaking rules 79% of the time under pressure. Even under zero pressure, the AI agents still broke assigned rules 19% of the time.

Emily Campbell has compiled a list of the main AI patterns, including summaries, common uses, considerations, and examples.

The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.
