CODING AGENTS HAVE CROSSED A CHASM

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Over the past few months, autonomous AI coding agents have gone from a neat curiosity to something some developers can't imagine working without. The technology has moved from a 'smarter autocomplete' to something you can genuinely delegate tasks to. These new tools can be incredible force multipliers, especially when users have enough knowledge to be good editors. However, they can be dangerous accelerants for confusion when users are out of their depth. The pace of improvement suggests we're still in the early stages of the shift - every week brings new capabilities.
