If we abdicate and let all software development and operations occur through the use of fully autonomous agents, someone is still ultimately responsible for the agents work/screw-ups. Thus, there is still a human writing code, from an ownership perspective. We all know it won't be the capital/manager class holding the stick there.
That's literally the opposite of what TFA quotes in Proton's "Engineering Manifesto"
> Your job has fundamentally changed. It is no longer to write code, and LLMs are not here to help you write better code faster. Your job is to help the LLM write better code faster
It goes on to say
> Every engineer is now a team leader, a manager, and your direct reports are the models and agents you use.
They don't want their engineers and programmers to write the code. They want LLM handlers.
That isn't what "writing code" means. The responsibility is for using the AI, or being negligent in doing so, but the AI is obviously writing the code. That's the entire point of it.
