Coding Genie

Read Original

This article discusses the concept of the 'coding genie,' a metaphor coined by Kent Beck for LLM-powered coding agents like Claude Code. It explains that these agents are not true assistants but probabilistic tools that generate code, often with unpredictable results. The piece advises developers to use them appropriately without anthropomorphizing them.
