AI Agents Autonomously Shipping Code to Prod Feels Inevitable

The author argues that AI agents autonomously deploying code to production is an inevitable shift in software engineering.
- Removing humans from the security loop: Future hackers will use autonomous agents. Defensive counter-measures will fail if they rely on human speed.
- Expanding trust boundaries: Once organizations trust agents to merge security fixes to the main branch directly, the door opens for agents to handle other types of development work autonomously.
