> this fact is a trap for competent but unagentic engineers
Is “unagentic engineer” a euphemism for human/not-AI?
Unfortunately for companies whose engineers work this way, they’re on a one-way trip to expensive cloud bills, data breaches, and frustrated customers.
A good amount of that “never done,” work is:
- Patching security vulnerabilities
- Fixing mistakes made due to lack of planning/testing
- reducing costs due to lack of planning (ship it now, make it better later)
- responding to customer feedback
If the business you’re working in doesn’t see the value in the work you do then, when you can, find a new place to work. They’ll sink their ship well enough on their own.
