Even with AI, there is a clear difference between juniors and seniors.
None of the things I can think of have anything to do with avoiding problems.
To some degree, having 5+ agents working on different projects is similar to leading a team of 5+ people. The skills translate well.
The senior is also able to understand what the agents do, review and challenge it. Juniors often can't.
And finally, the senior has a deeper understanding of what the business and problem domain are, and can therefore guide the AI more effectively towards building the right thing.
Avoiding problems outside your business problem domain, and can therefore guide the AI more effectively towards building the right thing.
Making things fit for purpose is not avoiding problems in my book.
If anything, quite often it's introducing more problems, because we know we'll run into them and they need to be addressed.
AI is sometimes quite lazy and refuses to solve the hard problems (sometimes making funny excuses like it would take weeks) until you make it explicit that it's important they are dealt with.
