The case for agent-first software without declaring software 'dead'
A writer argues that agents are replacing humans as software’s main users, though supporting customers still takes work.
TLDR
The essay’s author rejects “software is dead” as hyperbole but argues against betting on software that requires people to keep clicking through screens. They say Claude built the one feature they used from a $200-a-year YouTube tool in five minutes, letting them replace it. They also point to people using agents to create 3D models in Blender without learning its interface. Maintaining an app and supporting customers, they argue, still takes work.
