AI Coding Tools, Rate Limits, and Disposable Software — The Future of Development in 2026
AI coding tools are changing fast — and not always in your favor. In this livestream, Arjun Patel, Jenna Pederson, and Roie Schwaber-Cohen break down the wave of pricing changes, capacity limits, and access restrictions hitting Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, and more. They dig into what's really driving these shifts, what it means for developers building with agents, and how to think about your own workflows and tooling stack going forward. Plus: Andrej Karpathy's personal knowledge system, the Entire tool for tracking agent sessions, and the growing challenge of understanding code your agents wrote.
