End of Programming: Using Verification Systems for AI-Driven Code Iteration
airesearch12 · x · 2026-08-26
Paul Dix highlights a critical trick in agentic coding: if you build a verification system and provide proper direction, AI can produce complex software and refine it until it works. Citing the massive Rust rewrite in Bun 1.4 and the exponential rise in GitHub code generation, he argues for the "end of programming"—a future where agents create software with humans reviewing only the end result. This shift promises a deluge of new software, alongside inevitable "slop" of buggy code.
