For developers, agentic tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot) turn one engineer into a mini dev team—automating boilerplate, tests, docs, and legacy audits—so humans can focus on architecture, edge cases, and creative problem-solving. AI won’t erase jobs; it shifts them, rewarding those who adapt. The near future belongs to builders who pair deep software craft with AI fluency.
