"A trait you find in all high performing people is the ability to error correct, and they have mostly been good at seeing when slop is slop. The bottom performers won't have that self check. They are the ones producing 10x output with the agents."

The Eternal Sloptember

I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history. Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical model designed to mimic the distribution of programming. The output is broken, but in a way that’s getting harder and harder to detect. Which is exactly what you’d expect from an increasingly accurate statistical model.
