Developers are embracing AI coding, but many feel exhausted, obsolete, and unable to trust it.
The people building the AI boom are running on empty. According to Stack Overflow's 2026 Developer Survey, released Tuesday, nearly half of 30,903 developers surveyed in 169 countries reported being complacent in their current jobs, while a third were unhappy, and just over 22% were happy. Among the complacent group, burnout or tech fatigue was the leading reason, cited by 21% of respondents. The findings come amid an environment where software engineers' jobs are changing at breakneck speed. AI coding has taken over a greater share of their daily work — reducing some developers to button-pushers and human meat proxies, contributing to an identity crisis among some engineers, and fueling "off-the-charts" anxiety among tech workers. The malaise comes alongside a major shift in how software gets made. Stack Overflow found that almost two-thirds of respondents use AI coding assistants or agents, while 62% use general-purpose AI chat tools. Among daily AI users, 31% said they use them for four hours or more.

Class Action in Rough Halifax Plane Landing Certified in Supreme Court - VOCM
The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador has certified a class action on behalf of passengers on board Air Canada Flight AC 2259 which landed hard at Halifax in December of 2025 after the plane’s landing gear collapsed. The flight had taken off from St. John’s International earlier that evening, and officials at YYT later confirmed that debris was found on one of its runways after the flight took off. They wouldn’t say at the time whether the discovery was related to the incident at Halifax. The class action names Air Canada, Provincial Aerospace Ltd, St. John’s International Airport Authority and the Halifax International Airport Authority, all of whom have consented to certification. Stephen Barnes of Bob Buckingham Law says they want to understand what went wrong that night and make sure that passengers have an opportunity to be fairly compensated for what they went through. The case will examine whether the defendants met their responsibilities for aircraft safety, runway safety and emergency response, and whether any failures caused injury or loss to passengers.
