Man - what a ride this last year and a half has been. I feel for the juniors or newer developers, who really haven't had time to get into the seat. I don't see a great place to really "settle" into right now, as the field is unfolding rapidly. I wonder what things will look like in 10 years.

If I give an agent a sufficient spec, and it can one shot it, I imagine we won't need to loop, especially if we assume the tech is going to meaningfully improve in the coming years. In 5 years, "make no mistakes" and "add tests + review this code" will be baked into the agent or completely unnecessary, right?

Maybe I'm out of the loop.
