Agentic AI and Software Development: An Uncertain Future?

An open-source developer, Geoff Huntley, has created a script that leverages agentic AI and coding assistants to automate software creation. The result is the production of high-quality code at a drastically lower cost than traditional methods, so much so that the developer himself is concerned about the future of his profession.

The use of AI to automate software development tasks is not new, but the effectiveness and low cost achieved by this script raise significant questions about the evolution of the industry. The ability to replicate commercial software at a fraction of the cost could disrupt the market and redefine the role of developers.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
