Coder or software engineer? John Crickett says they're not the same job anymore. A coder writes and reads the code by hand. A software engineer leans on AI for the legwork. Which one are you actually being right now? Watch the conversation on [Dev]olution: https://lnkd.in/g2v3UYRH

"At Coder, 1% of my engineers are responsible for 40% of my token spend." CEO Rob Whiteley uses that number to make a different point: token spend is the wrong metric entirely. The real gap is in adoption, between developers who get a golden path to new tools and developers blocked outright by security teams for reasons that have nothing to do with the tool itself. Whiteley told The New Stack that security teams often block Cursor "not because anything is wrong or insecure with Cursor," but because of an architectural mismatch that turns the customer into the systems integrator. Coder Agent Relay closes that gap. Regulated enterprises can now run Cursor's cloud agents inside self-hosted, auditable workspaces, with SpaceXAI as the launch partner.

"Brings developer productivity, enterprise governance, and infrastructure control together in a genuinely practical way. Environments defined as code, access is identity-driven, everything runs within the organization's own infrastructure." That's a Senior Principal Architect at Vodafone VOIS on Coder, and it's the throughline across four new Leader badges in G2's Fall 2026 Grid Report for Integrated Development Environments: - Leader (Overall), across every company size - Leader, Enterprise - Leader, Mid-Market - Leader, Small-Business Four segments, four different engineering org sizes, and the same pattern shows up in the reviews behind every one of them: templates defined once, in code, running identically for every developer and every AI coding agent that touches them. That's what self-hosted, infrastructure-as-code development environments are supposed to deliver. It's good to see it show up in independent, verified reviews at every scale.

Last week, we announced Coder Agent Relay with SpaceXAI. Here's the technical depth we didn't have room for in the announcement. Most engineering orgs are further behind than they think: 70% are running AI agents on infrastructure that was never designed to support them, and only 31% have reached org-wide AI governance, according to Coder's assessment of 100 engineering teams. Agent Relay separates where an agent thinks from where it executes. Cursor Cloud Agents keep running the reasoning loop in the cloud, unchanged. Execution moves into a self-hosted Coder workspace, where Agent Firewall, RBAC, and audit logging apply automatically. No separate security model for agent traffic. Sandboxing the workspace is the easy half. The harder half is attribution, tracing an agent's actions back to the person who requested them. Agent Relay resolves each request against the org's existing identity provider, so an agent's commits, tool calls, and file access carry the same attribution as a human developer's.
