#Jules

Jules is Google's entry into the AI coding agent category, and these posts watch it with the same skepticism applied to every tool that promises to write your code for you. I write about what an autonomous coding agent can actually do today, where it shines on boilerplate and test scaffolding, and where it quietly produces confident nonsense that a tired reviewer might merge. The pieces here are less review than field report, tracking the gap between demo and daily use, the security implications of handing repository access to a model, and the deeper question of what happens to junior developer skill when the boring work disappears. Jules is one product. The category it represents is reshaping how software gets written.
