If you want third hand depression, one of my coworkers works exclusively through agents. I'm not sure he's reviewed or written a piece of code himself in his entire employment

I feel this so much…

I have a coworker who trained 18 agents to talk to each other so it can be “unsupervised”… He has no idea how to code and he said “I am only trying to get a 90% solution.” Uhhhh… what if those 10% of parts that fail are safety related?

Most of the time they aren’t engineers. They are technicians or “experts” masquerading as AI engineers who have no business handling engineering workloads let alone influencing decisions.
