- Coding agents can generate 500 lines of working, albeit simple, code in minutes.
- Agents excel at tasks like creating web apps, processing files, or automating workflows.
- They may not handle complex tasks like optimizing JIT compilers but are great for simpler coding needs.
- The usefulness of agents lies in their ability to quickly produce functional code, not in matching human expertise.
- Historically, software development focused on reducing the need to write code; agents continue this trend.
- Agents provide 'glue' code—simple, functional, and quick to produce—opening new possibilities for development.
