> In many cases the skills are available in house to do the necessary vetting, but these people are already overwhelmed with their existing day to day.

This is an interesting topic. We treat vetting output the same as doing the work ourselves, but that is not the case.

Doing the work is not the same as reviewing work done by others.

I have heard reports of software engineering companies that have gone full agentic. Their seniors only review stuff written by LLMs and it burns them out, because they have to switch context constantly.

I find this interesting because part of being a senior developer is that you are experienced enough that you won‘t make grave mistakes anymore. This is the case in many professions: you are relied upon to not make grave mistakes.

But those same people are now swamped with stuff that they are not able to review, so they will let a grave mistake slip through at some point.

So they really can‘t trust themselves anymore?
