The speaker explains: aI agents and non-technical roles like product managers are taking over autonomous bug fixing and small feature implementation, relieving developers from dull, mechanical coding work.

Hear it at 0:21 →Yes, we still have to people experimenting with the idea of software factories. There's definitely more focus on that. You will have agents building small features, building fixing bugs completely autonomously. And you have agents that fix bugs autonomously and unless it's a very critical bug, you don't even review it. And I think that's definitely a good direction and definitely there will be automation.
But the engineer will take a second stance, which is, okay, I'm looking at the software factories, if I look at the last 10 production incidents we had, they all resonate about this one feature, is there an architectural mistake that we made in this feature, do we need to reorganize something? So you'll always have the need for the engineer, even if you have agents solving the bug or even product managers right now pushing code with AI, they're like, okay, let me change a button.
That's okay, anyways, it's not the kind of work that you enjoy doing, like spending three days on a weekend fixing a bug that was purely mechanical. Nobody enjoy doing that. So there's also some things we're just going to give away, some things were fun, but a lot of work was also very dull and very boring.
