About this tag
The ai software engineering tag on WindowsForum.com follows how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way software gets built, reviewed, and learned. Coverage centers on Microsoft's collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University on PRAISE, a program announced in October 2026 to train junior engineers for AI-assisted development, including commentary from Azure CTO Mark Russinovich. The discussion weighs what happens when models generate working Python, C#, or Rust code in seconds, and how newcomers still build the judgment to become senior engineers. Expect threads on developer tooling, coding workflows, and the changing expectations placed on early-career programmers.

    When an artificial intelligence model can spit out functional Python, C#, or Rust in a matter of seconds, a reasonable question starts echoing through university lecture halls and corporate server rooms alike: what exactly is a newly minted computer science graduate supposed to do all day? If AI...
