The Future of Coding: AI Agents That Write Software

I’ve been a developer for 15 years, and the last year has been the wildest ride of my career. AI agents aren't just autocompleting my code anymore; they are architecting entire modules. I give an agent a prompt: 'Create a React component for a user profile with edit functionality and connect it to this API.' It writes the code, writes the tests, and even suggests optimizations. I feel less like a coder and more like an orchestra conductor. Some of my junior devs are worried, but honestly, it just means we get to work on harder, more interesting problems instead of boilerplate.
