But, you still have to read it:

So instead of writing the tedious code, I only have to read it. Oh but don't worry, I don't have to read it too carefully because:

So now I have to oversee this web of agents and AI ontop of coding? Am I doing more now for the same pay? Am I just speedrunning myself toward lower pay? Is AI adoption a prisoner's dilemma toward lowing my wages hardest?

Because is good at coding compared to many other disciplines (e.g. math), it makes the internal AI politics among programmers more of an issue. Add fuel to that fire baby!
