Coding agent is a perfect simulation of a junior developer working under you. Developer that will tell you - “yes I can do that” about any language and any problem and will never ask you any questions trying very hard to appear competent.

Your job is to put them in constraints and give granular and clear tasks. Be aware that junior developer has very basic knowledge about architecture.

The good is that it does not simulate that part when developer tries shift blame or pin it on you. Because you’re to blame at all times.

it also doesnt simulate the part where the junior actually learns and is less clueless 6 months from now, unfortunately

		That's not quite true actually, the context window has increased and models have definitely gotten smarter over the last year. So far you can think that part is being simulated.
