Ankit Jain (안킷 제인), co-founder and CEO of developer productivity platform Aviator, said that as AI writes most software code, engineers will shift from writing code to building the machines that write it. He expects roles to split into product engineers and platform engineers, with growing demand for the latter. Jain said faster code generation is creating friction as teams build separate prompts, guardrails and dashboards without sharing. He said all software companies will effectively become development tools companies.

OpenAI, AWS, Cursor, GitHub and Microsoft have voiced support for Agent Plugin 1.0.0, a reusable portable package standard for expanding AI agents. A report said the vendor-neutral open standard, led by agent infrastructure firm Vercel, combines AI agent skills and MCP servers into a single deployable plugin that can be moved across clients or runtimes. Some engineers warned about governance and permissions risks, while others called it progress for enterprise adoption.
