PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Software engineering will likely look radically different in a few years. The introduction of coding agents that complete tasks end-to-end will change how engineers work, making them more like engineering managers who spend more time on the higher level parts of coding. This will have many effects, like creating more software, more engineers, and productivity gains for companies. Marketing may even start being directed to AI agents as companies try to get them to choose their products over a rival's.
