It's no secret that agentic coding tools like Claude Code & GitHub Copilot Agent are already reshaping software development.

And while it’s natural for some developers to feel uncertain or even fear this change, we believe it’s something we should embrace.

👉Here’s why: marmelab.com/blog/2025/09...

The Bright Future Of Developers

A new breed of developers is emerging. They ship production code daily but can't write a for loop. They're not imposters – they're the future of programming.
