The Orchestration Phase
Your job is now Chief Problem Definer.
The job isn't writing the code anymore. It's defining the problem so well that an AI can't get it wrong.
An AI Just Shipped a Feature for Me
Anything Max's autonomous agent claims to solve 97% of bugs, but the real story is how it changes the developer's job.
Imagine an AI that doesn't just suggest code, but runs your web app like a person, finds bugs, and ships fixes autonomously. Anything Max just launched, claiming its AI software engineer solved over 97% of difficult bugs in its beta. This isn't another copilot; it's a tireless digital teammate that interacts with a live app for over 30 minutes to get a job done.
The hype is about velocity, but the real story is about orchestration. When an agent can perform 100+ steps on its own, the developer's job is no longer about writing lines of code. It's about defining the problem so precisely and building such robust guardrails that the AI can't possibly misinterpret the goal or break anything in the process. We're becoming managers of digital employees.
This is a huge deal for product managers and no-code builders who can now fix things without a developer. For engineers, it’s a warning: your value is moving up the stack from implementation to architecture and strategy. If your job is just turning tickets into code, an autonomous agent is coming for it.
The New Oversight Committee
With AI doing more of the work, a new class of tools is emerging to watch what's happening.
PromptSignal: Your brand's AI reputation manager
It tracks what LLMs say about you, because AI is the new Google search and you need to rank there too. This isn't optional anymore; it's about controlling your brand's narrative in a world of generated answers.
Fruitful: Automated competitor stalking-as-a-service
It watches competitor websites for pricing changes and new features so you don't have to. This turns market intelligence from active work into a passive, automated background process.
TimeFly Dev: A Fitbit for your coding habits
It automatically tracks your coding activity to show you where the time really goes. This is about optimising your personal workflow, not just managing a project backlog.

It's a focused, open-source Arc alternative for Mac users who want a modern browser without the feature bloat.
My takeaway
The new high-leverage skill isn't coding; it's specification.
We're all chasing autonomous agents that can build and fix on our behalf. But these systems are powerful, literal-minded interns who will do exactly what you ask, even if it's a terrible idea. The bottleneck is no longer execution speed but the quality of the initial command.
This forces a shift from being a builder to being an architect. It means spending more time defining constraints, success criteria, and what 'done' looks like. It is the least glamorous, but most important, part of the job.
Are we training ourselves to be better directors, or are we just handing the keys to a fast car with no steering wheel?
