The Future of Software Engineering in the Age of AI Agents The Bugged but Happy The Future of Software Engineering in the Age of AI Agents We’re at a tipping point. From AI-assisted code completion to autonomous agents that can design, test and operate software, the software engineering landscape is changing faster than many teams can reorganize. This article explores what that future looks like — technically, operationally, and ethically — and gives practical guidance for engineering teams that want to thrive. 1. The trajectory so far: assistants → agents The last decade in software engineering has been dominated by tooling that increases developer productivity: integrated development environments, continuous integration, containerization. More recently, we added AI-powered assistants — code completion, linting, and test suggestion. These ass...
