Abstract: The article describes how software engineers and developers at technology companies create codes in the era of artificial intelligence (AI) agents. Topics discussed include computer programming becoming a conversation between software developers and their bots, efforts of computer programmers to automate large language models (LLM) and their ascension to higher level of abstraction in coding, the shift from greenfield coding to brownfield, and writing code using Google Gemini LLM.
