    𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 “𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀” 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀? Fascinating new State of Code report by Sonar: it turns out that every major LLM writes code with a distinct, measurable personality: • GPT-5 is the “baseline performer” – secure and logical, yet verbose and complex, trading simplicity for depth. • Claude Sonnet 4 is the “senior architect” – ambitious and elegant, but prone to high-severity bugs. • GPT-4o is the “efficient generalist” – balanced yet occasionally careless. • Llama 3.2 90B is the “unfulfilled promise.” • OpenCoder-8B is the “rapid prototyper” – fast, concise, and chaotic. The takeaway: “More capable” doesn’t always mean safer or cleaner. As reasoning power increases, risk shifts from obvious bugs to subtle concurrency and maintainability issues. In the era of AI-assisted software, we’ll need to evaluate not just accuracy but 𝒔𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆, 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒌 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒆 — because our new coding partners each come with their own “developer DNA.” #AIrevolution #ArtificialIntelligence #LargeLanguageModels #GenerativeAI

    The challenge for modern enterprises isn't just securing new applications—it's ensuring consistent security across a vast and varied code landscape. That's why we're honored to be positioned as a Leader in the latest GigaOm Radar for Application Security Testing. In his analysis, GigaOm analyst Whit Walters highlights our strengths in providing a comprehensive solution—from advanced SCA and mobile security analysis to our unique support for legacy languages like COBOL and PL/I. This recognition validates our developer-first approach: empower teams to own the security of their code, and they will deliver better, safer software.

    AI speeds up code creation, but it also creates a new challenge: a slow, manual verification process that forces developers to constantly switch context between their AI assistant and their analysis tools. This friction undermines the seamless experience AI is meant to deliver. Bridge the gap between AI and quality with the #SonarQube MCP Server. 🌉 The free, local server integrates SonarQube’s trusted static analysis directly into your AI workflows. Query your project's quality gate status, search for dependency risks, or analyze a new code snippet with a simple, natural language question—all without leaving your AI-native IDE. ✅ For developers: Reclaim your focus. Get instant answers from SonarQube about bugs and vulnerabilities right within your AI assistant. ✅ For platform engineers: Future-proof your stack. The MCP Server is a single, standardized integration point that lets you connect SonarQube to any compatible AI tool. Check out the SonarQube MCP Server to bring trusted analysis into your team’s conversational workflow today. 👉 https://bit.ly/3Jija3M #CodeQuality #CodeSecurity #DevTools #AICoding #DevEx #PlatformEngineering #DevOps

    Struggling to keep up with the explosive volume of AI-generated code? 🤖 You're not alone. AI coding tools are accelerating how fast code is written, but they're also creating a new bottleneck: verification. Time saved writing code is quickly lost in slow, manual reviews, creating an "engineering productivity paradox." Join our webinar with Sonar's Engineering Director, Erin (Hall) Kouri. She'll share seven essential best practices to help your organization adopt AI safely and effectively. You'll learn how to: ✅ Fuel AI-enabled development without sacrificing speed or quality. ✅ Ensure AI-generated code is secure, maintainable, and reliable. ✅ Keep technical debt under control as your codebase grows. 🗓️ Save your spot today and build trust into every line of AI-generated code. https://bit.ly/4obqnl3 #CodeQuality #CodeSecurity #SoftwareDevelopment #TechWebinar #AICoding

    Give your AI agent a new sense. 👁️ For an agentic IDE like Kiro to act intelligently, it needs to understand its environment. Now, that environment includes your team's code quality standards. You can now use the #SonarQube MCP Server to act as a bridge, allowing the Kiro AI agentic IDE to access data from your SonarQube. This gives the agent a real-time awareness of code quality and security, empowering it to make smarter decisions and autonomously build higher-quality code from the start. Empower your agent with better data today: https://bit.ly/4o8x8Ef #CodeQuality #CodeSecurity #AI #DeveloperTools

    Speed is everything. 💨 That is why developers choose the lightning-fast Zed Industries code editor. It is also why we built our new integration with a "no-compromise" philosophy on performance. You can now add the #SonarQube MCP Server to the Zed code editor using the official extension available in Zed's marketplace. This is a lightweight, local engine designed to deliver critical insights without the bloat, ensuring your editor stays as fast as you are. Get the official Zed extension now: https://bit.ly/4o8x8Ef #CodeQuality #CodeSecurity #AI #DeveloperTools

    Loved sponsoring the #LeadDevMeetup New York with Figma and LeadDev last night! 💡 Our very own Colin Mueller from Sonar asked: "What can 'I Love Lucy' teach us about AI-generated code?" Turns out, a lot. That iconic chocolate factory scene perfectly illustrates what happens when you speed up one part of a system without considering the whole — the bottleneck just shifts elsewhere. For developers generating code with AI, that’s often right into Code Review. We believe the real win for engineering leaders is "Vibe, then Verify" — let AI generate code fast, but verify through rigorous review backed by the right culture, tools, and processes. Want to dig deeper into software quality and engineering practices? Join the Sonar NYC Meetup group for future events and discussions! ➡️ https://bit.ly/4nTU1vv ...Now for the main event! If you’re at the LeadDev New York conference this week (October 15th-16th), stop by the Sonar booth, #42 to chat with our team about #CodeQuality and security, developer velocity, and how #SonarQube helps you manage the hard problems of software development. Huge shoutout again to our partners LeadDev and #Figma for an excellent kickoff event last night. 🍫 #EngineeringLeadership #AI
