Five Ways AI Is Changing Software Development

I explain how AI coding agents are changing software development and outline five concepts developers can use to prepare. The discussion ranges from agent workflows and model fundamentals to security and the changing role of engineers, using practical examples along the way.

- The shift in AI capabilities and specification-driven development
- From implementation to orchestration: architectural decisions, context management, and agent loops
- Model fundamentals, supporting capabilities, prompt-injection risks, and sandboxing
- The future of software engineering and the skills developers may need

I focus on concepts and workflows rather than a step-by-step setup guide for specific tools. Developers and people exploring AI-assisted coding can use these ideas to begin writing clearer specifications, structuring agent workflows, and considering security safeguards.
