AI agents are the best tool a developer can ask for

Published Aug 20261 minute read

Imagine working on a complex project, you are the thinker, you are the mastermind, you get all responsibility and all the credit for the project, but you don't write a single write of code in that project !!!

That's the current software industry, developers nowadays are responsible mostly for designing the systems, and are responsible for the impact, writing code is a thing of the past, I know some old legacy languages still requires experienced developers to write them efficiently, but its only a matter of time till agents learn that too. Currently senior developer do review AI written code, but don't write it themselves, because writing code takes a lot of time, and agents have made the workflow really fast.

This too has its downsides, developers who were average and only knew the syntax and how to write code now got replaced by AI agents, those who cannot think beyond the code, the scale of the system might have trouble adapting to the change.
