AI Coding Agent Stages Framework Goes Viral: 'Chat → Agents → Memory → Autonomous' — Most Developers Still at Stage 1
A tweet mapping AI coding's evolution through 4 stages in 6 months — (1) Chat: ChatGPT copy-paste, (2) Agents: Cursor/Claude Code reading and writing files, (3) Memory: CLAUDE.md and persistent context, (4) Autonomous: agents running overnight — gained traction with the observation that 'most are still at stage 1.' The framework captures the emerging consensus that the real productivity unlock isn't better models but better developer workflows around models, with persistent memory and agent orchestration as the current frontier.
