I have found comfort in the words of @steipete talking openly about what's possible. Demonstrating a role for software engineers that is achievable with agentic AI. It is this PR by mattt that opened my eyes to how empowering it can be as a solo developer to use Copilot as your code reviewer. It's the tinkering by @stroughtonsmith that makes me think what more value I can create. It's the path these men carve for others.

Businesses might have to bear the brunt of hiring graduates as they develop their skills. Which is no different to how it's always been! The question that needs to be answered is both how they will develop their skills in an environment where agents write code and what role would they play. This is where I would like to hear from business schools the likes of Stanford, Harvard, Oxford etc.

I am still wrapping my head around all that insight to try to take it all in. It's worth watching that discussion twice. This is what's going through my head:
* Universities will become relevant again for the same reason they've always been important. Develop your critical thinking, teaching you how to do research.
* Junior software engineers will need even more help and support to become experienced. I have no idea where, how or who will take that responsibility. Let alone willingly.

We are very lucky that @steipete is choosing to openly discuss and share his experience and learnings from using agents. Especially when he has taken so much slack. Without his writings we would be in the dark and made even less progress. What I would like to see next is universities, business leaders and computer scientists build, expand and shape our knowledge based on what Peter is saying. I want to hear from experts in other fields research and think hard how the rest needs to evolve.

Just watched @steipete discussion with @gergelyorosz on agentic coding. The information is so dense, I had to really be paying attention to take everything in. There is a lot to unpack, including how businesses need to overhaul, what role universities should have and what it would take for graduates to build up the skills and experience required to do the job. Kudos to Gergely for asking the questions and for giving Peter time to respond. https://youtu.be/8lF7HmQ_RgY?si=-ab05rWPAESreSXv

Unfortunately my role is at a risk of redundancy so I am looking for a new one.

You might have come across Windmill, that talk on Sound Debugging or attended NSLondon on Debugging Closed Source Code.

I am a software engineer, experienced in iOS/macOS apps and Java Enterprise, based in London, UK.
I am primarily looking for a London based role, open to working remotely. I have a product mindset thus I prefer to work on team with a product focus.
