> Although engineers use calculators when carrying out arithmetic, they still need to know mathematics. Likewise, developers will have to understand software. We will still need someone to assess and review the implementations produced by an agent. And since the cost of producing code is decreasing, a greater proportion of our work will then be devoted to deciding if it is correct.
What we will need "will still need someone to assess and review the implementations produced by an agent", and what he wishfully thinks will happen "since the cost of producing code is decreasing, a greater proportion of our work will then be devoted to deciding if it is correct" are not what I see happening, nor what's happening now.
Instead we'll get more slop and be more careless about it.
