This is actually one thing I think will be great as AI coding agents get better. Companies whose main expertise is hardware might start producing better software.
There are so many little bugs in consumer-facing apps that hit the ‘sweet’ spot of being incredible little annoyances that just aren’t worth putting an engineer on for a week to fix, but which are totally worth having an engineer throw an agent onto them.
Yeah, like fixing a annoyance while introducing one or two SEV-1 for sure is going to be great progress.
How? Coding agents are trained on every copy of every tutorial that skips error checking and implements the least resistance path.
