Coding Agents in Action: A Deeper Look at Claude Code and OpenAI CLI
Follow-up to “From Vibe Coding to Coding Agents” In our last article, we explored how coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI CLI are reshaping software development. We argued that what some call “vibe coding” is really the early stage of a much larger shift: agent-assisted development. Now, let’s go a step further. How do these tools actually fit into a developer’s…
