The core point: The emergence of AI Agents is not about making software engineers more efficient, but about making the very act of "permanently encoding decision logic into software" increasingly unnecessary. The author describes a more fundamental paradigm shift: tra...

This paper argues that the emergence of AI Agents is not about making programmers more efficient, but fundamentally changes the nature of the software paradigm — code transforms from static artifacts that permanently solidify decision logic into temporary tools dynamically generated by LLMs and discarded after use; the core of software engineering will shift towards designing reliable inference constraint boundaries.
