<p>The issue is discoverability. Photoshop has that one magical button that solves all of your issues. But it is hidden behind specialized knowledge and a 10 step deep menu.<p>Agentic solutions just don't have these issues. You give them your image, that's it.</p>

<p>My non technical wife asked ai to brush up the photo for her cv.<p>Ai did that with whatever cli tools were available and what it would write itself.<p>Ai is not a faster horse. It is a phase shift.<p>We won't see a gas station clerk write photoshop because we won't need a photoshop.</p>

<p>We are used the interfaces being web interfaces.<p>But say that the underlying api exposes some endpoint discoverability capabilities (eg. Exposing an openAPI spec), then arguably the action was invited: the actions was documented along with the auth model.</p>

<p>We are too early to deem it failed ai strategies.<p>I am advising small startups. One of them went entirely to agentic developed software by a team of non technical founders.<p>They had their sec audit done with considerably fewer errors than had a software developer build the same (which would have taken upwards of 4 times as long).<p>I am sorry, the technical capabilities of the agentic systems for software development is already much further ahead than what people comprehend.<p>Severe disruption is imminent.</p>

<p>> AI writing makes me vomit.<p>There is likely a non empty set of writings that are AI written and that you don't recognize to be AI written.<p>I agree that the Ai-isms are ugly.<p>Butni also acknowledge that I am likely reading huge amounts of Ai text I don't attribute Ai.</p>

<p>What can be concluded is that some get immense value out of Ai and some are incredibly critical of that claim.<p>I do not know what the secret sauce is.<p>But I have a responsibility to the team I lead. I need to protect our velocity. Which means that my hiring practices now include specific checks that people are able to work with ai.<p>In the end, it might be a step thing. Some people are just inherently incapable of working with this technology...</p>

<p>Fair enough, that's on you.<p>You are talking from an ideal point of view. You want the companies to hold employees responsible.<p>But that is is not how it work. Why you appear obtuse.<p>Eg. Look at th3 therac25 case. No developers was held accountable.<p>We have spend more than a decade remove accountability from indiviauls. Using limited liability, insurance, and workers protection.<p>Accountability is the last reason why we need humans over agents.</p>

<p>It really is not.<p>There are some areas that are critical and where software developers carefully will detail stear the work.<p>But the vast amount of software written, react components and rest endpoints, are very ripe to be entirely written by agents.</p>

<p>> The human who had their eyes and hands on the code has accountability.<p>They are not.<p>You can not go go back to a laid off person / one who quit and keep them accountable.<p>So this is absolutely not the case.<p>Devs are not accountable for their code.</p>

<p>> Until very recently the norm has been that the vast majority of code had human eyes and hands on it.<p>What quality does it have that humans had eyes on code?<p>Elite teams likely still produce code of better quality with a higher qa bar than agentic code. But that category is dimishing everyday.<p>The core point is that so much trust is reduced to "Joe in cubicle". Also a lot more than what he can carry.<p>Most of the code that is being executed on your behalf is far from written by elite teams.</p>

<p>I don't think that is true.<p>I think more of the capabilities comes from the cross domains knowledge.<p>Anyways, software is also designed for a domain. The reason why it is so adept at making a fitness tracker is likely because it knows about biology.</p>
