Agentic coding represents a significant evolution from traditional AI-assisted coding, moving beyond simple code snippet generation to a more autonomous process. In this new paradigm, AI agents can read codebases, plan multi-file changes, write code, execute tests, and iterate on fixes until a task is complete. While effective for well-defined tasks like writing tests or adding API endpoints, agentic coding still struggles with tasks requiring undocumented context or unwritten conventions, highlighting that it replaces the mechanical implementation rather than the problem-solving aspect of development.
