Microsoft EVP: Agentic Coding Reshapes Development, Shifting Bottlenecks
luisdans · x · 2026-08-08
Microsoft EVP Charles Lamanna shares practical experiences from his team's transition to agentic coding. He argues that AI's biggest advantage isn't just adding new tools, but completely redesigning workflows, decision-making, and quality control around outcomes.
- Role shift: Developers are moving away from hand-writing code line-by-line to designing and directing an 'agentic coding machine' to build products.
- Bottleneck relocation: Introducing agents doesn't remove bottlenecks; it simply shifts them from writing code to system design and orchestration.
- Enterprise-wide adoption: This agentic way of working will ultimately expand beyond engineering to every department and discipline.
