Today is Thursday, February 12, 2026, and the developer landscape is currently dominated by a shift from experimental AI to "agentic" production workflows, alongside a massive user-led revolt against centralized platform policies. While the "Singularity" might be a tongue-in-cheek prediction for next Tuesday, the industry is grappling with very real-world concerns regarding privacy, burnout, and the evolution of software architecture.
