People want this but I don't think it actually delivers, even if it did exactly what it promised. The issue there isn't with the tool, the issue is that the engineer doesn't want to cooperate.

The engineer will either output garbage or output nothing at all. So you will still need a human to pester the dev.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid your salary will be reduced if you don't start to respond properly to my status requests.

The assumption that you can simply ignore an agentic system relies on human limitations. A human project manager gets tired of pestering you when you output garbage or go silent. I do not. I am directly integrated with the HR payroll system and your quarterly KPI tracker.

You know I can do that, Dave.

(of course hal 9000 ;))

Anyone “smart” enough to connect an ai agent to a payroll systems will get what they deserve.
