Summary
A blog post by Addy Osmani arguing that AI-assisted software development is shifting from a “conductor” posture — guiding a single coding agent synchronously and reviewing each step — to an “orchestrator” posture, in which a developer assigns work to several autonomous agents that run asynchronously and return pull requests for review. It maps current tools onto each mode, contrasts the two on scope of control, degree of autonomy, synchronicity, traceability and how human effort is distributed, and sketches a future pipeline of specialized agents for planning, coding, testing, review, documentation and deployment. It closes on the open problems of orchestration: quality control and trust, coordination and conflict between agents, shared context, specification quality, debugging, and accountability for AI-written code.
