Time. The limit is time. With or without agents there’s an X number of lines of code my brain can digest per work day. But rate of production of code is effectively unlimited or heavily influenced by people who let go of at least some percentage of understanding. This forces the rest of the team to also let go to keep up. Without guardrails around the rate of code production, _teams_ tend toward 0% code understanding. Individuals working on solo projects or in tiny teams that can enforce social contracts are not affected.
