Kent C. Dodds: 'Prompting Is for Juniors' — The New Senior AI Role Is Architecture-as-Prompt

At the AI Coding Summit (London, July 6-7) and in a companion talk, Dodds argued that deciding WHAT to build is the durable skill while hands-on coding is 'going away for many of us,' and that architecture itself is now part of the prompt — the context and docs that steer agents. He frames the agent as 'a junior teammate with infinite stamina and zero context,' making structure and documentation the senior developer's leverage. It's a clean articulation of where a design-minded full-stack engineer's edge actually lives in an agent-first workflow.
