Currently, I don't think so. Coding agents' performance generally depends on the quality of the model behind them. Running a powerful model is assets-dependent. Not everyone has the hardware and power to support Sonnet 4.5 or Gemini 3 even if they are open-source. So, before the top notch models can be deployed on personal computing devices, I would not say coding agents will threat any organization.
- More engineers moving from employment to indie development.
- Less abandoned open source software.
- Indie developers, small teams, and open source software developers will be more able to catch up and better compete with tech giants.
