it really isn't a flex ppl think it is when they're burning tokens churning agents that are working for "hours" doing work
we don't need to read or write code anymore, but we do need to write (as humans) the instructions for agents.
having ADRs, product specs, acceptance criteria, etc. that are properly maintained leads to agents working for just a few minutes and pumping out reliable code.
the more vague the work for agents, the more randomness and inefficiency there will be. that leads to bugs, constantly re-writing code, etc.
imo ofc, i'm not yet running a billion dollar company so maybe i'm wrong.
