The world has changed. Agents can write code. They can scaffold a project, write the tests, ship the feature, fix the bug, update the docs. They get faster and quieter every month. The temptation, especially as a senior engineer, is to stop building yourself and start managing the agents. To become an architect of intent. To delegate.
