Why good developers are wary of agentic development
Original: Why are good developers so wary of agentic development?
A new article published on Martin Fowler's site explores why skilled software engineers remain skeptical of agentic development, the practice of handing coding tasks to autonomous AI agents. The piece argues that experienced developers' hesitance reflects professional judgment about code quality, maintainability and accountability rather than resistance to change, and it is drawing active discussion among developers weighing AI tools' real value.
Why now: Debate is intensifying over whether autonomous AI coding agents can be trusted in professional software work.
