I used Google Translate - actually, I saw it used on this site (which I love, incidentally) and I wanted to use the buttons, but I haven't found the code for it yet.

Thanks

Happy 10th year, JCertif!

Uber Automates Design Documentation with Agentic Systems

Uber’s uSpec uses AI agents and the Figma Console MCP to automate design specs, cutting documentation time from weeks to minutes. Integrated with the Michelangelo platform, it uses a GenAI Gateway for PII redaction, ensuring data stays local. This reflects a 2026 industry shift between Uber’s "Visual-First" Figma workflow and a "Guide-First" approach favored by developers using agentic IDEs.

AI Coding Assistants Haven’t Sped up Delivery Because Coding Was Never the Bottleneck

Agoda recently published an observation arguing that while AI coding tools have measurably raised individual developer output, the resulting velocity gains at the project level have been surprisingly modest, because coding was never the real bottleneck. The post claims that the bottleneck has shifted upstream to specification and verification because these areas require human judgment.
