From Humans to Agents: The New Paradigm of Code Consumption
manosaie · x · 2026-08-04
The author highlights a shift in software interaction: moving from humans writing and consuming each other's code, to humans deploying agents that write code to consume code generated by other agents.
While using Codex for a task, the author observed it hanging during a complex tool call. Peeking into the agent's generated code sparked a visceral reaction—understanding the mechanism yet feeling reluctant to dig deeper into its internals, reflecting the developer reality of interacting with AI black-box code.
