AI agents reshape software engineering, but human oversight remains critical for complex work

AI coding tools like Claude Code and Codex are transforming how software engineers work, with some developers using up to four agents simultaneously. But the promise of always-on automation clashes with reality: agents delete inboxes, create security vulnerabilities, and require constant supervision. Silicon Valley now prizes 'agentic' individuals who can manage these tools effectively.
