El Niño could push 50m people into acute hunger before end of next year

UN forecasters warn of worsening conditions in 45 countries currently experiencing severe food insecurity About 50 million people are likely to be pushed into acute hunger before the end of next year by the rapidly developing El Niño weather system, according to forecasting. This is in addition to the hundreds of millions of people already facing dangerous levels of hunger, owing to years of drought in parts of Africa and pressure on food prices from the war in Iran.

AI coding agents are blowing through budgets — Replit, Kilo Code, and Symbotic explain how they're managing it

At Kilo Code, engineers are reading or writing code themselves only about 1% of the time now, according to co-founder Emilie Schario — the rest is agents. That shift is forcing new questions onto dev teams: which systems are safe to hand over, who cleans up when models goof up, how to support multi-model architectures, and whether skyrocketing token bills mean real progress or just burned IT budget. As far as tech leads from Replit, Kilo Code, and Symbotic are concerned, it’s a natural — and welcome — evolution as agentic AI becomes embedded into more and more enterprise workflows. “Unless something's really broken or debugging, 99% of the time engineers are not reading or writing code anymore,” Emilie Schario, co-founder of Kilo Code, said at VB Transform 2026. AI good at greenfield, not so great at brownfield For Jared Go, distinguished engineer for AI and cloud at warehouse automation company Symbotic, the current moment is about directing the focus of AI. "These are my criteria," he said. "Let's look at it from the lens of security, elegance, clean, concise code, water tightness." That way, AI does most of the heavy lifting, and human code review isn't as critical. Human involvement becomes necessary further down the line, Go noted, because agents don't make strong product decisions. “Greenfield [building brand new codebases] is so easy for agents. Brownfield [writing, updating, or maintaining existing code] we all know is where the actual challenge lies.” Replit takes a bit of a different tack: While the company has "gone very agentic," they've been more conservative with AI coding, explained Amol Jain, head of product engineering. An agent reviews each pull request (PR) and assigns it a risk score; low-risk PRs are self-merged by their author, while others go to human reviewers who read the code and give feedback. “The idea was human on the loop, not human in th...
