I have what you call "significant engineering experience", decades of it to be precise and have designed and developed many complex products successfully used in various industries.
I do not need to "shift my perspective" since I do use agents to the degree that I need and it helps help me very much. I am way more productive with them.
Generated code is still not perfect disregarding of any particular model (I have access to all). I have to watch and fix, sometimes by supplying more precise specs, sometimes asking to rewrite piece of code in such and such manner using this and that structures.
Wasn't meant to be personal- I was using the proverbial "you".
I keep seeing what I'm referring to happen - folks are using / opening their editor less and less.
What's crazy is a developer can go on a walk and use tmux/tailscale and keep working as if they were sitting at their desk.
