The agents aren't going to orchestrate themselves.

You also don't need to write or read the code to build great software.

This is how many high output teams are working now:

- Human writes PRD (usually with help of agent)

- Agent breaks down PRD into engineering specs with human review and input on and on technical implementation (architecture decisions, etc)

- Team of agents implement PRDs

- Team of agents reviews PRDs and checks for fidelity against both PRD and spec, fixing automatically or asking human for input if PRD or spec is unclear

- Team of agents tests final work product against spec and presents to human for final verification

Humans writing code manually is over.

Humans reviewing code manually and in-detail is mostly over.

Humans directing high-level architecture is still here for now but will likely be reduced in the near future.
