Really? I feel like the article pointedly skirted my biggest complaint.

> Part of being a senior developer is making less-able coders productive, be they fleshly or algebraic. Using agents well is both a both a skill and an engineering project all its own, of prompts, indices, and (especially) tooling. LLMs only produce shitty code if you let them.
I hate pair-programming with junior devs. I hate it. I want to take the keyboard away from them and do it all myself, but I can't, or they'll never learn.
Why would I want a tool that replicates that experience without the benefit of actually helping anyone?
