Writing code is becoming extinct. Let's face it: Software Engineering is moving towards the orchestration of multiple agents running in parallel. I'm now spending 80% of my time reviewing code and only 20% writing it, and even this split might be outdated soon. Tools are moving in this direction... show more

“Code is becoming management" Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says programming has already changed more in 6 months than in the last 20 years. Top engineers are no longer writing most of the code themselves. They’re managing fleets of AI agents with objectives, verification, and long-running tasks. The leverage moved from typing to orchestration.

After reaching AI-native terminal velocity we are swamped in code review. The core insight is that as long as you can write code in parallel you will continue to be stuck until you can review it in parallel. I was surprised by how quickly this became my daily driver for not just review code, but writing it as well.

Software development will never be the same. I want you to watch this video: This is a spec-driven development environment. 100% of your time goes to writing specs and managing agents. 0% goes to writing the code.

.Amjad Masad : Creating software is going to be one of the most exciting areas. The average person will soon be as capable as what a senior software engineer is today, as we shift from doing the work to directing it. Instead of coding line by line, you’ll run multiple agents in parallel, building the frontend, refactoring the database, shipping features, all in the background. On top of that, you’ll have a clean interface to design and interact with AI more creatively. Software creation is moving from execution to orchestration, and soon, it won’t be a specialised skill, it’ll be the baseline.

Anthropic Boris Cherny says the role of programmers is shifting from writing code to orchestrating agents "it's more about reviewing code than writing code" complex tasks still require manual coding, but those windows are shrinking. eventually, managing agents will become the core of programming

I’ve been working on dunk. It’s a terminal diff reviewer where you mark issues inline, then let a coding agent fix them. It started as a fork of hunk, but I stripped it down to the loop I need: review → my comments → agent fixes I’m spending time reviewing code and leaving comments for agents rather than writing code myself. But in most tools, that feedback loop still feels broken. dunk is a simple way to make it work across Claude Code, Codex, Pi, etc.

Right now the main paradigm that we think of agents in is chatting back and forth, but the biggest use of tokens will come from agents that are just always on running in the background doing work for us, or ones triggered from a workflow. Agents will be working 24/7 in our workflows processing data, reviewing and generating documents, moving data between systems, writing code, accelerating decision making steps, and more. In Claude's new Managed Agents feature, in a couple minutes you can wire up an agent that can read contracts when they come into Box to review them, and then assign a task in Linear with the critical information from the contract. But this could have been any workflow, like reviewing documents for client onboarding, invoice processing, M&A due-diligence, data extraction pipelines, and millions of other use-cases. And integrating data across any system. This is only possible when you can have long-running agents that can complete real work in the background, accurately. Agents have the ability to execute code safely, leverage tools, access a compute sandbox, and connect across systems is clearly the architecture of the future. The industry is now making it easier and easier for enterprises to build and deploy these agents.

How will AI change writing? For clues, look at the current state of software development. Marc Andreessen says: "The new coding interface is you've got your code and a chatbot. The Copilot is reading your code and giving you real-time comments. Or the chatbot is actually writing the code for you, and then you're giving it feedback. We had this old concept in the old days called pair programming, where you'd put two coders together in front of the same keyboard, and they could talk to each other and write code together. But now you're just going to have pair programming happening much more broadly, which is human plus machine. And by the way, this hasn't happened yet, but I think the same thing will happen for every other form of writing. So I think prose writing and fiction writing and all kinds of professional authors will be working in this format where you'll have this continuous dialogue going with an AI while you're in charge of the overall product." — Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 (Recorded in 2024)

THIS GUY TURNED A DESK LAMP INTO A LIVE CLAUDE CODE STATUS INDICATOR the lamp changes color based on what claude code is doing in real time when claude is thinking it's one color. when it's writing code it shifts. when it's done it changes again. when it errors out you know instantly without even looking at your screen the lamp is a moonside halo and i'm already tryna to buy one I might even buy multiple for the multiple claude sessions running in the background and turn my room into a disco if the color reflected the operational status of claude it would just be red 24/7 it could also track your usage limit. green at the start of the session, slowly fading to red as your tokens drain people are already hooking this up to their philips hue and govee setups at home

One of the tools that I really like and use for writing code is postfix completion in #IntelliJ. It is not very popular, but once you start using it, you can't live without it.

We've built a massive verification bottleneck: • 72% of developers use AI to generate code every day • 96% of them don't fully trust it Writing code is now free. All the work now is verifying that the code does what it's supposed to. According to a new State of Code Survey, almost half of the respondents believe the number one skill that will matter most in the coming years is "reviewing and validating AI-generated code for quality and security". Not prompt engineering or vibe-coding, but checking AI's work.

"The one thing that's going to be truly future proof is judgment. What is the biggest challenge when you have a thousand AI engineers writing code? AI slop. In an era when you can do everything, the question is which of these things matter. On the engineer side, it is evaluating the code. Which of this code is even valuable? You can have AI engineers writing beautiful code that could be wrong, that could have bugs in it, that could be vulnerable. Someone needs to review it. Make sure to have a human review at some point, especially critical code that is in the core of your system. On the product side is judgment around what needs to be built and evaluating. And similarly in design, you have to have judgment around, does it make sense in the broader design system. I think this judgment is the number one thing that humans are going to bring in an era of infinite productivity."

What if writing code was as simple as talking to your device? Watch my GPT-4 voice assistant: - take in a complex coding task - write the code - create a PR on my GitHub repo All I had to do was tell it what to do. This is the future of software.

Reviewing AI-generated code is the new bottleneck. Writing code was slow before. Now, in a few minutes, you can generate virtually unlimited lines of code using AI. But developers are now spending 70% of their time checking that code. That's the new bottleneck. I've been using Cline, and they have a feature that actually helps with this: You can click a button and have Cline generate an inline explanation for every single line of AI-generated code. Take a look at the attached video. What it does: 1. You can read the code and the explanation together 2. You don't lose context while reviewing code 3. You understand the "why" behind each change And here is the best part: It works on any git diff. You can use it to review PRs, understand commits from other people, or catch up on a codebase you haven't touched in a while.
