During a summer internship at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Ivy Mahncke, an undergraduate student of robotics engineering at Olin College of Engineering, took a hands-on approach to testing algorithms for underwater navigation. She first discovered her love for working with underwater robotics as an intern at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 2024. Drawn by the

Whether you’re a scientist brainstorming research ideas or a CEO hoping to automate a task in human resources or finance, you’ll find that artificial intelligence tools are becoming the assistants you didn’t know you needed. In particular, many professionals are tapping into the talents of semi-autonomous software systems called AI agents, which can call on AI

Today, OpenAI launched a macOS desktop app for Codex, its large language model-based coding tool that was previously used through a command line interface (CLI) on the web or inside an integrated development environment (IDE) via extensions. By launching a desktop app, OpenAI is catching up to Anthropic’s popular Claude Code, which already offered a

Software developers have spent the past two years watching AI coding tools evolve from advanced autocomplete into something that can, in some cases, build entire applications from a text prompt. Tools like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex can now work on software projects for hours at a time, writing code, running tests, and, with
Developers say AI coding tools work—and that’s precisely what worries them Read More »
Linux and Git creator Linus Torvalds’ latest project contains code that was “basically written by vibe coding,” but you shouldn’t read that to mean that Torvalds is embracing that approach for anything and everything. Torvalds sometimes works on a small hobby projects over holiday breaks. Last year, he made guitar pedals. This year, he did
Even Linus Torvalds is trying his hand at vibe coding (but just a little) Read More »
Hackathons are different!. The good ones pull you in, stretch your thinking, and leave you with something real—regardless of the outcome. The problem is choice. It’s hard to find the right one! Too many hackathons. Too many formats. And too much noise. So this list is built with that in mind. Instead out outlining Hackathons

AI coding agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google can now work on software projects for hours at a time, writing complete apps, running tests, and fixing bugs with human supervision. But these tools are not magic and can complicate rather than simplify a software project. Understanding how they work under the hood can help developers
