Right. So many of these agentic UX stories describe it like, "I do a bunch of code reviews for my junior engineer minions."

But when I do code reviews, I don't enjoy reviewing the code itself at all. The enjoyment I get out of the process comes from feeling like I'm mentoring an engineer who will remember what I say in the code review.

If I had to spend a month doing code reviews where every single day I have to tell them the exact same corrections, knowing they will never ever learn, I would quit my job.

Being a lead over an army of enthusiastic interns with amnesia is like the worst software engineering job I can imagine.
