Coding agents are increasingly moving to have the human after the loop instead of somewhere in it. That's a good thing, because being in the middle of something else's thought process basically turns you into a tool without any real agency. Using tools like Windsurf have that effect when they ask for permission a lot, turbo mode is really liberating in that way. We've got an OSS autonomous agent at Bosun called Kwaak that works in parallel to the developer (it spawns workspaces in docker containers), basically pulling the human all the way outside the loop. Right now it'll get many basic things right but sometimes it's flaky and it basically makes you carefully read its merge requests. I wonder if at some point the agents become so good that they only rarely make mistakes, making the reviewing of their merge requests ever more tedious as their mistakes become harder to spot and farther apart.
