I remember when we just wanted to rewrite everything in Rust.
Those were the simpler times, when crypto bros seemed like the worst venture capitalism could conjure.
...and the best of them all, OpenCode[1] :)

I like to believe, but MCP is quickly turning into an enterprise thing so I think it will stick around for good.
At least when herding cats, you can be sure that if the cats are hungry, they will try to get where the food is.
Here is the changelog for OpenBSD 7.8:

There's nothing here that says: We make it easier to use it more of it. It's about using it better and fixing underlying problems.

On this including AI agents deleting home folders, I was able to run agents in Firejail by isolating vscode (Most of my agents are vscode based ones, like Kilo Code).
I wrote a little guide on how I did it https://softwareengineeringstandard.com/2025/12/15/ai-agents...
Took a bit of tweaking, vscode crashing a bunch of times with not being able to read its config files, but I got there in the end. Now it can only write to my projects folder. All of my projects are backed up in git.
Will 2026 fare better?
The big labs are (mostly) investing a lot of resources into reducing the chance their models will trigger self-harm and AI psychosis and suchlike. See the GPT-4o retirement (and resulting backlash) for an example of that.
But the number of users is exploding too. If they make things 5x less likely to happen but sign up 10x more people it won't be good on that front.
But that one doesn't make headlines ;)
What I find interesting with chat bots is that they're "web apps" so to speak, but with safety engineering aspects that type of developer is typically not exposed to or familiar with.
