The job sounds easier than traditional engineering. It isn&rsquo;t — at least not for the people who do it well. Because when you&rsquo;re orchestrating agents, your technical depth is the control surface. CS fundamentals don&rsquo;t disappear; they become the language you use to catch when an agent is wrong.</p> <p>Software engineers aren&rsquo;t going away. They need to adapt — like they always have.
