## Resource

A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a debate that has been making the rounds in software engineering circles. The spark came from Boris Cherny, an engineer at Anthropic and the creator of Claude Code, arguably the most influential AI Agentic Coding harness in the world today. During a podcast appearance, Boris made a statement that immediately grabbed my attention: Coding is largely a solved problem. He went on to explain that he hadn’t written a line of code by hand since November, and that essentially all of his code is now authored by Claude Code. Needless to say, this generated strong reactions. Some people interpreted it as evidence that software engineering is about to be fully automated. Others saw it as confirmation that AI coding tools are delivering unprecedented productivity gains. As someone with twenty-five years of experience in software development, I found myself somewhere in the middle. Because while I absolutely believe AI is transforming software engineering, my own experiences suggest that programming is nowhere close to being a solved problem. In fact, the more I use these tools, the more complicated the situation appears. The Rise of Agentic Software Development Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed a rapid evolution in how software gets built. First, developers used AI to generate snippets of code. Then they began using AI assistants to complete larger programming tasks. Today, we’re entering what many people call Agentic Software Development . Instead of asking an AI for a few lines of code, developers increasingly delegate entire workflows. The AI can analyze requirements. Generate designs. Write code. Create tests. Review its own output. Deploy software. Monitor production systems. In theory, the human becomes less of a programmer and more o…
