  Believe it or not, code review stops being a "bottleneck" as soon as you stop overproducing code.

  "We can't afford understanding the code we're deploying to production because that way we can't keep up with the pace at which LLMs generate code." That's a tail wagging the dog instead of the opposite.

  What if writing all the guardrails + mutation testing needed for the LLM generated code in agentic coding workflow + all the iterations to steer it takes longer compared to guardrails for humans (TDD mostly) + you don't lose the mental model of how the system works by outsourcing it to a machine?

  LLMs are like a recommendation algorithm on an e-commerce website. The problem with agentic coding is like thinking that the recommendation algorithm produces sufficiently plausible results that it's essentially you. It's there to augment your experience, not to replace it.

  If it hurts do it more often, but if it really really really hurts, and it doesn't have to then try to prevent it.

  "I always operated/debugged systems I didn't understand" is not a badge of honor to justify everyone else should somehow feel comfortable maintaining/running systems they don't understand anymore because "agents write all of our code and humans understanding how the system they own works is a bottleneck to remove". It's a sign of having to deal with the fallout of dysfunctional system that most engineers shouldn't have had to d...

  From what I can tell Claude Code source leak by shipping a source map was definitely a skill issue.
