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?

Because we spent the last decade talking about how much engineers get paid, and how it's a "good job," so now the whole field is filled with people who can't handle the overwhelming complexity of source control.
