Why good developers remain wary of agentic development
Original: Why are good developers so wary of agentic development?
A new essay published on Martin Fowler's site explores why experienced software engineers distrust agentic AI development, where autonomous coding agents plan and write code with limited oversight. The piece argues that skilled developers' caution stems from accountability, verification costs, and concerns about code quality rather than resistance to new tools. The debate is drawing attention across the engineering community.
Why now: Ongoing debate over AI coding agents' reliability is prompting experienced developers to question whether autonomous development practices are safe to adopt.
