The software lifecycle has changed drastically with agentic AI already capable to write hundreds of lines of code following best practices as any senior programmer would do. However, human intervention is required probably with even more critical thinking
I wrote an article telling about an interesting experience I had and the insights I got using an agent to write a lot of code for me.
To achieve scalable and maintainable code, it’s crucial to steer the agent’s development process with well-thought-out prompts that provide enough context and explicit instructions. But especially, aim to incrementally reduce needless complexity and over-engineering, delivering just what the product or codebase requires — toward a good-enough, simple yet flexible design.
