The Poetry of Agentic Development or How to Write Code Now

In this Habr article, the author reflects on the fundamental shifts in software development brought about by the rise of AI agents. Rather than focusing on specific tools or coding techniques, the author suggests looking at the problem from a higher level of abstraction. The focus is on a paradigm shift: the engineer is no longer just an executor, but a 'conductor' of code generated by neural networks. It is emphasized that the responsibility for errors made by agents still rests with the human. The author urges colleagues to rethink the values and meanings of the profession in the era of 'vibecoding,' where the speed of code generation increases, but the requirements for architectural thinking and quality control become critical. The article serves as a philosophical introduction to a new reality where interacting with AI requires a deep understanding of processes rather than just blindly using automated solutions.
