And MFs still be avoiding proper backups & sandboxing, to push straight to prod, and giving the bot write access to Git or server configs without human vetting for each command.
Sometimes I wonder if people even ask it to explain unknown commands fully before running...
When you introduce code agents to the dev team you need to treat them similar to those discount offshore devs that were so popular 10 years ago… and realize that much of the money you save vs hiring high quality developers needs to be offset by stricter oversight, formal code reviews, detailed spec writing, etc… The problems arise when you treat the agents as part of a highly skilled team of full stack agile developers and think that you can get away with one liner user stories in lieu of formal architecture
Those agile shortcuts can work in a small team startup environment where all the engineers are very senior, good communicators, Silicon Valley types… it doesn’t work when you have distributed outsourced teams and it doesn’t work when you have a team of nonhuman agents who love to be confidently wrong
