Autonomous Agents: Turning Every Engineer into an Engineering Manager

Developer tooling has come a long way, from autocomplete to copilots and now autonomous agents. This article explores how to effectively work alongside these agents to boost development efficiency. Key insights shared include clearly defining tasks, providing sufficient context, leveraging CI/CD for feedback loops, and understanding the limitations of these agents. While not a silver bullet, autonomous agents can significantly save time, freeing engineers from tedious tasks and allowing them to focus on more creative work.
