Agentic AI solved coding — and exposed every other problem in software engineering

Summary

Agentic AI is now core to engineering, boosting code generation. Yet product improvement hasn't kept pace because coding was never the bottleneck; defining requirements, integrating systems, and maintenance are the real challenges. As AI code scales, human review becomes a bottleneck, and engineers lose context to catch agent mistakes. Companies should avoid headcount cuts and instead establish governance frameworks.
