You have never written a line of code yourself — you have only used &lt;a href="https://byteofcode.io/posts/harness-no-human-typed-code/"&gt;AI agents to build things&lt;/a&gt;. They manage your deployments, and they handle all of your code management when you ask them to refactor the codebase.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now imagine you succeed in this role. You learn how to get agents to build large swaths of a codebase, and through that process you start to understand the engineering concepts and architecture behind it. You become very successful. Now imagine the mean response time of getting answers from your agents — the experience of asking a question and having it resolved almost immediately.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
