The world of software development is rapidly changing, driven by agentic coding. This trend has made me a 10x developer in just six hours. I find it thrilling to watch tools like Claude Code work their magic.
However, this revolution is creating two groups that I feel sorry for:
1. The “too late” group: Software developers who will take agentic development for granted and never have written actual code.
2. The “stubborn” group: Developers who dismiss the benefits of agentic coding, thinking it slows down development and produces sloppy code.
As a result, we former code jockeys will retire, taking our legacy with us. The next generation of developers will inherit Claude Code as the norm, not the exciting new thing it is now.
The “stubborn” group is particularly astonishing, given their dismissal of agentic coding’s potential. They seem to think that agentic tools produce “slop” or bugs. But what if these tools can write code a hundred times faster and with 24/7 consistency?
Those who refuse to see the value in agentic coding are truly missing out on the thrill of a lifetime.
