Certainly the population of people that need to know how something works is much smaller. But even still, cognitive debt is a real, documented phenomenon where we lose our ability to change projects.[1] We also know coding agents tend to accumulate slop in projects over time without some human intervention[2] There's also the concern of whether its a good idea to be dependent on an addictive slot machine run by a trillion dollar company to do your work. | ||
