Author argues agentic AI coding is next abstraction

The author argues that agentic AI coding represents the next major wave of programming abstraction, moving developers beyond traditional high-level data structures and languages much like previous shifts from assembly and C. As AI handles low-level implementation details, the author suggests that future education must pivot toward system-level thinking, automated testing, security, and API design. Ultimately, this new layer of abstraction will enable larger problem-solving and allow more people to enter programming. Open article →
