This is why the jobs market for new grads and early career folks has dried up. A seasoned developer knows that this is how you manage work in general, and just treats the AI like they would a junior developer—and gets good results.

Why bother handing stuff to a junior when an agent will do it faster while asking fewer questions, and even if the first draft code isn't amazing, you can just quality gate with an LLM reviewer that has been instructed to be brutal and do a manual pass when the code gets by the LLM reviewer.

Because juniors learn while LLMs don't and you must explain the same thing over and over forever.

If you are explaining things more than once, you are doing it wrong. Which is not on you as the tools currently suck big time. But it is quite possible to have LLM agents “learn” by intelligently matching context (including historical lessons learned) to conversation.
