If you ask a blacksmith how to fix a screw, he might say "just hit one strike with this good old hammer". Coding agents are integral to IDEs.

Not just car, ownership of homes might go even earlier. Just pay rent as long as you are earning, have easier mobility, and then when you are not working, move to a state-provided accommodation.
