6 Comprehensive Resources on AI Coding
AI coding is moving fast, and it’s getting harder to tell what actually works. Agents, workflows, context management and many other aspects are reshaping how software gets built.
We’ve collected a set of resources to help you understand how AI coding is evolving today and what building strategies work best:
1. AI Agentic Programming: A Survey of Techniques, Challenges, and Opportunities (2508.11126)
Provides a clear taxonomy, compares agent architectures, and exposes practical gaps in tools, benchmarks, and reliability that AI coding agents now struggle with
2. Does AI-Assisted Coding Deliver? A Difference-in-Differences Study of Cursor's Impact on Software Projects (2511.04427)
This survey from Carnegie Mellon University shows causal evidence that LLM agent assistants deliver short-term productivity gains but have lasting quality costs that can slow development over time
3. A Survey of Vibe Coding with Large Language Models (2510.12399)
Turns Vibe Coding from hype into a structured field, categorizing real development workflows. It shows which models, infrastructure, tool requirements, context, and collaboration setups affect real software development outcomes
4. From Code Foundation Models to Agents and Applications: A Practical Guide to Code Intelligence (2511.18538) (from Chinese institutes and companies like ByteDance and Alibaba)
Compares real code LLMs, shows how training and alignment choices affect code quality and security, and connects academic benchmarks to everyday software development
5. Build Your Own Coding Agent via a Step-by-Step Workshop⟶ https://github.com/ghuntley/how-to-build-a-coding-agent
A great guide that covers the basics of building an AI-powered coding assistant – from a chatbot to a file reader/explorer/editor and code search
6. State of AI Coding: Context, Trust, and Subagents⟶ https://www.turingpost.com/p/aisoftwarestack
Here is our in-depth analysis of where AI coding is heading and the new directions we see today – like agent swarms and context management importance – offering an emerging playbook beyond the IDE
