I am just astounded as to how they manage the architecture + understanding + optimization + maintenance context.
They don’t. They fuck it the shit up. While AI huffers will not hesitate to tell me that actually a hypothetical blabla bla blabla, I have yet to see an agentic coder make something that holds up to reality, safety, reliability, or maintenance.
Because agentic coders are dogshit, that’s why. It’s like having a Roomba with a staple gun go fix up your carpentry. It’s dogshit.
Maybe if someone built a Roomba gaurdrail. Ensured the Roomba always marked its work with pencil first, then got human approval to proceed. Ensured the Roomba can’t drive away from its rails. Ensured the Roomba can automatically detect errors and undo+retry. Ensured the Roomba can (and more importantly: cant) do all kinds of shit… then maybe you can have a Roomba which adequately augments the work of a professional. You still don’t have a Roomba that can replace anybody, except maybe the professional’s new apprentice. Why the fuck would you want to replace an apprentice, though? Apprentices turn into an professionals, unlike Roombas.
