Yes, as an example structured concurrency in Java (final release in Java 28 perhaps). I think that could totally change how we write concurrent code in that language.

I just upgraded a less important service to Java 27, a few days after its release (several nice features). It's cool how easy it is to upgrade nowadays.

That an agent writes most of the code doesn't mean anything to me here.

My examples are Java because that is the main language where I work.

Thanks for the perspective.

		You're welcome. I now feel inspired to try to change your mind, if you don't mind. I would argue that "concepts" actually are more important than ever. Let's take my structured concurrency example. It doesn't matter here exactly what is, but if it ends up being as important as I think it will be, I likely want to write most concurrent code that way going forward. However, it will likely be years until agents go to it unless deliberately steered in that direction. And if I want to make agents write it, I need to review it, and if I'm going to review, I need to understand it. I think this is why I'm not pessimistic about the profession, it still feels like what I'm doing and learning matters.
