> Nobody nowadays goes "you are an expert software engineer. make no mistakes"

You know what, I checked Opus 4.8's instructions to a review subagent the other day and it literally opened with

> You are a senior infrastructure/security engineer doing a thorough, adversarial code review...

I didn't say anything like that myself.

Much like agents, I can tell myself I'm a senior infrastructure/security engineer doing a thorough, adversarial code review, but that doesn't change the results much.
You have to be looking in a mirror and slap your face a couple of times to make it work.
