Why “Agentic Programming” Might Be the Next Big Shift in Software Development

The article explores how Gemini CLI, Google’s agentic programming tool, represents the next evolution in AI-assisted development. Unlike traditional IDE helpers, Gemini CLI understands entire codebases, executes complex tasks, and accelerates workflows—from CRUD operations to Angular migrations—within minutes. Still, the author emphasizes the need for human oversight, cautioning against blind automation and advocating for AI as a tool of empowerment, not replacement. It’s a glimpse into a near future where developers become curators of AI-generated code and productivity reaches superhuman levels.
