So, what you are saying is that I should fire the bottom N% of underperforming agent instances?
You know, like employers do as opposed to taking any responsibility?
The dude is just acting like a manager with a technical employee (agent) who does the hands-on work. If you are upset about this you should be hopping mad about the whole manager-director-VP-SVP hierarchy above this dude.
You're saying this as if it's some rebuttal ad absurdum, when it's absolutely the case: when the higher layers don't understand what they do, we have a problem with that too, and that's been true since forever. Remember Dilbert and Office Space, and making fun of the ignorant middle managers and execs?
In this case, what we're complaining about is coders not understanding the code they ship (because some AI wrote it and they don't bother to review it or guide the AI fully).
