Martin Fowler published a fascinating report from a February 2026 retreat where senior engineering practitioners from major tech companies gathered to discuss how AI is reshaping software development. It’s dense, so here’s what stood out to me. Where Does the Rigor Go? The biggest question of the retreat: if AI writes the code, where does the engineering discipline move? The answer is — it doesn’t disappear, it migrates: Upstream to specs — Bad specs produce bad code at scale....
