Future of Programming: What’s Our Place in the World of Coding Machines?
summary
Andrey Breslav examines how AI agents and large language models are increasingly generating, reviewing, and testing code, and asks what roles remain for developers, leads, and teams. He discusses the realistic limits of autonomous coding agents, where human judgment still adds value, and how software development responsibilities may shift as programming practices change.
