This is a submission for the Google I/O Writing Challenge
Everyone is talking about Gemini, Antigravity, AI Mode, and coding agents.
I want to talk about websites.
Because the Google I/O 2026 announcement that spoke to me most was not only a model announcement, an IDE update, or another productivity feature. It was the larger pattern behind several announcements: the web is becoming agentic.
That changes the job of a web developer.
