Agentic Coding
AI systems that autonomously write, debug, test, deploy, and review complete codebases.
Why It Was Important
Moving beyond single-line autocomplete (Copilot), platforms like Devin and highly-prompted LLMs utilized terminal execution environments to iteratively plan and build fully functioning software. This marked a profound shift toward software engineering being directed by humans but physically typed and compiled by AI.
Who Invented It
Cognition AI / Open Source Community
Teams pushing the boundary of sequential, unprompted problem solving.
Applications
- Software Engineering
- Autonomous Debugging
- Compiler loop iteration
