A widely shared prediction argues that anything making people work harder will die in an agentic world: humans won't code, write, or draw, and editors/IDEs of all kinds have no future. The key is making it easier for humans to give feedback at their preferred granularity — as agents improve, people will do less detailed work and more 'vibe work,' so optimizing how humans describe their vibe is what matters.
