2026 Agentic Coding Trends Report
Software development is shifting from writing code to orchestrating agents that write code. But many engineering leaders are still navigating the gap between early experiments and organization-wide adoption—balancing productivity gains against oversight, quality, and security.
The 2026 Agentic Coding Trends Report identifies eight trends changing how software gets built: shifting engineering roles, multi-agent coordination, human-AI collaboration patterns, and scaling agentic coding beyond engineering teams. Includes case studies from Rakuten, CRED, TELUS, and Zapier.
