Agentic coding is Reminiscent of REPLs
Agentic coding (where you describe a task and an AI system autonomously plans, executes, and iterates on code changes while you supervise and approve the results) is the New Hotness.
I produced a free Midi patch editor called MIDI Patch Pilot - open sourced at https://github.com/gavD/MidiPatchPilot and usable at https://gavd.github.io/MidiPatchPilot/ - using agentic coding.
It got me thinking: 1. Agentic coding reminds me of a REPL 2. Agentic coding means engineers shift to more of a management role - we're all senior engineers now, in a sense 3. Putting "coins in the AI meter" is very much like a product owner/tech lead writing user stories or tickets - if they're not high quality, there will be a lot of wasted cycles.
