Software that once seemed too time-consuming to build may now be within reach, argues programmer Dan Luu. His essay says AI coding agents could help skilled developers create complex personal tools and niche applications far faster than before.
Why it mattersLuu also warns that verification remains difficult and that faster output does not guarantee good software. Ambition, yes; handing the keys to the autocomplete, perhaps not.
