I think a lot of people feel this tension. Programming used to be mostly about building things directly. You write code, run it, fix it, repeat. With agents it starts to shift toward supervision: define the task, watch the output, correct the drift. It's a different kind of work. Sometimes it feels less like programming and more like managing a very fast team that never gets tired but also never really understands the goal unless you spell it out extremely carefully. I suspect a lot of developers still enjoy the "building" part more than the "supervising" part.
