Ok. I get what you're saying. I definitely agree with losing touch with the code, but I still review everything the agent writes, and I steer it heavily. My perspective is from what I observe. The entire industry (my industry) is embracing agentic coding. And I don't believe developers are doing it because they're stupid.

I think it is going to continue to get better, and I don't think we'll be having this argument in two years time. Our entire industry will look very different.
