AI coding has emerged as a major market for AI: one that’s already rewriting how software gets built. a16z Infra Partners Yoko Li and Guido Appenzeller break down how “agents with environments” are changing the dev loop; why repos and PRs may need new abstractions; and where ROI is showing up first (like legacy code migration).
