several ironies here:

1) an AI agent is less likely to notice than even a junior is when the docs are out of date from the code

2) AI boosters are always talking about using language models to understand code, but apparently they need the code explained inline? are we AGI yet?

3) I frequently hear how great AI is at writing comments! But it needs comments to better understand the code? So I guess to enable agentic coding you also have to review all the agents' comments in addition to the code in order to prevent drift

HOW IS ANY OF THIS SAVING ME TIME
