“We're going to have humans in the loop, and humans are going to need to read code and sign off on it before shipping it. And readability will still matter, and Python remains the hands-on winner for that.” On the latest episode of the Agents + Engineers podcast, Paul Everitt, Developer Advocate at JetBrains and I discuss whether humans will still be reading the code the agents create. I’ve seen a lot written about this topic lately. Yes, you need to verify code works regardless of how it’s created. But are you willing to submit an agentically developed PR to the Linux kernel without reading the code? We also discuss: - How to create handoff packets between different model sizes for efficient delegation - The state of the art for running local models - What agentic engineering means for Python development Listen directly to the episode and be sure to rate and subscribe to the show!
