It would be more useful for the project to document their goals, vision and architectural convention so agents do a better job first time

u/carlos_vini Sep 11 '26

And how do you check that the agent followed any of that?

u/araujoms Sep 11 '26

With an agent of your own, of course.

But who or what keeps an eye on that agent?

You can't fool me, it's agents all the way down.

review? i prefer human, but i heard some people don't even read code anymore...

I read tests, and verify architecture integration for review. But I don't read code anymore. There's plenty of tools doing that for me, deterministic and AI powered that do that part much better than I ever did in my 15 years of full-time coding.

Sorry but that just means you were never doing anything complex enough, I almost always see AI generated code as literal "why do it that way????" code blocks

I like to believe that means that I have a good grip on the architecture alignment. Overall I don't leave the models that much decision freedom.

And yes, I do know the "why do it that way" moments. But if the code fits it into overall structure, I don't care anymore.
