What is agentic development?

Agentic development uses AI like Cursor and Claude to plan, code, and test — acting like an invisible team, but you review plans to catch errors.

Does agentic development really save time?

Yes, coding shrinks from days to hours, but only if your review process evolves — otherwise, gains vanish in PR purgatory.

How do you handle AI hallucinations in agentic dev?

Scrutinize plans for unasked assumptions; use domain knowledge to nix subtle inferences that sound smart but derail your specs.

Will agentic development replace developers?

Nah — it shifts your role to plan vet and architect, demanding sharper judgment than ever.
