#68: The Current Reality of AI Coding Assistants
Episode 68
Sunday, 11 January, 2026
AI now codes faster than most engineers but it also confidently makes stuff up. The “AI made me a 10x dev” story sounds great online, yet many AI-driven projects quietly collapse, and teams pretend they’re not using it. The real value isn’t writing code anymore; it’s steering AI, setting boundaries, and catching its mistakes. Without strong code review, AI becomes a liability. With it, it’s a massive accelerator. The gap is widening fast: structured AI teams are flying ahead, resistant ones are stuck. Today we’re breaking down the real wins, failures, and what coding actually looks like in 2026. In this episode:Our experiences with AI coding assistants;How to do it wrong and how to do it right;Context engineering: beyond prompt engineering;The importance of tooling around the model;How to implement this for your team and not break everything.Check out our website to learn more about the services mkdev offers for companies.Subscribe to our newsletter.Buy mkdev merchandise here.Podcast editing: Mila Jones / milajonesproduction@gmail.com
