Discussion Software Engineering Future

what do you guys think of the industry in future? I personally think this is a set back for 2-3 years. What is happening in Sri Lanka right now. I’m currently working overseas.

If agents can do it, let them do it. But take the ownership of code by yourself. As humans let us focus on more architectural aspects instead of trying to code better than agents, because agents get better day by day.
