The world is going to be using coding agents for far more than anyone would have thought before.
We’ll be building tools in all new categories, building software for companies that couldn’t afford it before, using agents to protect systems from cyber risk, automating research in life sciences, processing insane amounts of data in complex workflows, upgrading legacy systems and infrastructures, and hundreds of other use cases.
In short, by lowering the cost of code, we are going to do so much more with it. This will result in software becoming more useful and the leverage of engineers going up dramatically, which coincidentally will mean we need more of them, not fewer.
