The annoyance I have is that it isn't one of the other. I spend a lot of time thinking and fighting with whatever frontier model we're on today. I've seen people let LLMs make absolutely atrocious decisions and just click next and collect checks.

I just posted this morning about this type of engineering has secured us numerous customers and put some projects in our backlog that either need significant rework or at least a very close eye to see if their issues crop up.

IDK, the idea that we shouldn't be thinking is a worrying one. I still have to think a lot.

What I'm _mostly_ worried about is that the path to get to high performing senior is basically a burned bridge with our current training techniques, and I'm not sure we'll adapt before a brain-drain situation in the industry.
