The End of Software Engineering: How AI Agents Are Fundamentally Restructuring the Software Paradigm
Summary
The End of Software Engineering argues that AI agents fundamentally restructure software engineering, introducing Agentic Engineering and Agent-as-a-Service (AaaS) as a new paradigm. It cites SWE-bench, EvoClaw, and Hermes Agent as empirical support while outlining a four-stage roadmap toward self-evolving agent ecosystems, and discusses practical implications, challenges, and governance for practitioners, researchers, and organizations.
