David Khourshid: agents will force a rethink of libraries built to save developers typing
DavidKPiano · x · 2026-11-14
David Khourshid (DavidKPiano) argues that many popular libraries exist mainly to keep developers from typing too much or thinking too hard — but agents don't care:
- Agents will effortlessly write explicit, more robust code
- Better alternatives for the agent era already exist or are being built
- Developers should reevaluate these library choices now
The take touches on how AI coding reshapes tooling built around human ergonomics.
