r/singularity·medium signal
A developer posted a detailed timeline on r/singularity: two years ago writing every line, one year ago prompting and reviewing, six months ago running multi-turn loops manually, last week running fully autonomous agents. The post hit 97 upvotes but an extraordinary 224 comments (2.3 comment-to-score ratio), indicating deep, contentious engagement. The thread captures the real-time inflection point between AI-assisted and AI-autonomous software engineering.
