Is agentic coding the future of software development?

Yes, but also very much no. Current AI is super advanced autocomplete. Autocomplete has its place – for example, boilerplate stuff that is easily predictable. NetBeans already autocompletes my constructor methods based on my code and the fact that most constructors have the same stuff in them.

I think that once the fuss has died down and the cost of running the things gets too real, we’ll be using AI for a better autocomplete and little else.

When I grow up

@openmentions.com I wanted to be a Fire Truck. Not a fireman, a whole damn Fire Truck. I blame 2001 Optimus Prime.

I never grew up. When I was little, I wanted to be a fireman and drive a fire truck. We should of teamed up.

These days, IF I grow up, I wanna be happy.
