AI coding agents can now generate, test, and deploy software. But every leap in abstraction, from COBOL to low-code to LLMs, has made human direction more essential, not less. Developers are evolving from programmers to orchestrators who guide systems to ensure software solves increasingly complex problems in ever-growing mountains of executing code. The future of software lies in AI and developers working together to craft solutions that push past the complexity that neither can solve for alone.
