A repost argues that coding agents are now powerful enough to reshape empirical social science research:
- The author claims this is the weakest coding agents will ever be for this kind of work
- Even with future market shocks or backlash, the research process will not revert to the old workflow
- The underlying point is that agentic coding tools are now part of the normal research stack, not a temporary novelty
