    Will AI Agents Replace Developers? Insights from Grigorij Dudnik // REPOST

    Do we still need programmers in the age of AI? In this episode, I sit down with Grigorij Dudnik, creator of Clean Coder AI —an agent-based AI framework that aims to transform how we build software. We dive deep into the future of programming, where AI agents take over the repetitive tasks and senior developers act more like managers than coders. Grigorij breaks down how his open-source tool works, how it's already being used in real-world web applications, and why separating AI agent roles (planner, coder, manager) actually boosts performance—just like in human teams. 📧💌📧 Ready to take your business to the next level?
