"Having an agent spit out generic software architecture is probably better than what they were producing before." If they were a poor programmer/architect, I don't think the AI would make the end result any better. It would amplify their lack of skill. Sure, the low-level code might be more airtight and idiomatic, but that's not even where poor skill really manifests itself. It's at the higher level of thinking in terms of the system and understanding the proper context of the business/technology, etc. |

High level generic advice from agents is often, in my experience significantly better, unmodified, than doing nothing.
Obviously its better to do it properly, but you know… opus 4.8 is a pretty great model.
You might be surprised at the quality of the planning, architecture and task breakdown that a simple prompt with some context hints can give you.
…at the end of the day, if I’m working with someone and they give me 6/10 plans based on AI instead of stupid/10 plans they dreamed up, or 0/10 plans they didn't even bother (or in too much of a hurry) to write; Ill take it.
Tragedy of the commons? /shrug
You gotta be pragmatic. It turns subpar contributors into useful contributors.
