I might use an agent to help me understand those things, help me detect an anomaly or something that's broken faster and triage it.

But I still need to have a fluency of like, what is this thing that we're building and how does it work?

So I know if it's good and I know how to fix it.

I don't know, I hope that doesn't go away because that's like a, how do we make the world a better place through the stuff that we're building, I think requires some understanding of what we've built.

I think that's one of the things that the learning curve is very steep on right now.

So looking at some of the code that,

some of these models or agents are writing.

they're very hard to follow.

It's like, I know I'm getting better performance from this, but I have no idea why.

And if this thing breaks, I'm going to have no idea how to fix it.

That makes me uncomfortable.

You know, maybe that's because I'm still on that learning curve of like, how do we operate in that world?

Like what's the set of tests or rationalization and understanding that we need to have to get comfortable with it?

But at first glance, it looks very unfamiliar and very unsettling.

So I think engineering over time will evolve to

be comfortable with that and have fluency in it and know how to guide new tech and agents and new capabilities to make sure that we feel really good about what the output is.

It feels like it's an acceleration of how much engineering has changed.

But if you looked over the last 10 years or 20 years, you would say the same thing.

So there's just something that's moving faster.

And it's hard to wrap our heads around how quickly it's moved in the past couple of years.
