“The biggest challenge in adopting agentic engineering practices is getting comfortable with the consequences of the fact that writing code is cheap now.”
Banger, yes can agree to that. Turning that code to production grade is hell of a task. It seems so flawless that its tempting to just push it straight. But tests my god tests are like verataserum for those ai slop.
“Delivering new code has dropped in price to almost free... but delivering good code remains significantly more expensive than that.”
Yes totally.
“These best practices are still being figured out across our industry. I’m still figuring them out myself.”
Honestly he is the best one to put this way. Everyone thinks they know how it works, but having that probabilistic factor is very rough especially for thinking of code in a new way.
