In December 2025, LLM agent capabilities crossed a threshold of coherence and caused a phase shift in software engineering. The role changed. You no longer write code. You communicate intent to agents and delegate macro-actions across parallel agent harnesses. The bottleneck is now your ability to formulate the next task.
In 2026 I am mastering the new paradigm: agent orchestration, AutoResearch, the loopy era of self-improving systems. Onward toward the singularity.
