Except that we're not going to be "coding" very soon. We're going to be firing off jobs that get tracked in VCS, gated through CI, then reviewed by a panel of agents with different specialties. At the end you'll have a few select sections of code that these agents flagged for human review, and thousands of lines of stuff that you don't need to worry about.
This guy selling AI snake oil btw. In case it wasn't obvious.
Why the hostility? We can have a civil discussion without relying on throwaway accounts.

Then it turns out that your CI gates are green because your tests are all subtly broken, the code you've been reviewing doesn't matter and the code you haven't been reviewing is what's broken in production. You learn from that and rebuild the universe, but now you're compute-limited from rebuilding your agents to deal with the underlying issue in your tooling and you have to dig yourself out of a hole you dug with a large derrick using nothing but a shovel.
That's absolutely one possible outcome, just like when manually coding you have a team that doesn't know what they're doing and doesn't build anything close to what the customer wanted. YOLO'ing development has never worked, there's skill in everything.
You can offer Chatgpt 7 for free, I’ll never use VCS. If it ever get that powerful I’ll instead tell to recreate it without the bloat and battery drainage.
