I’m not worried about it taking over. Describe exactly what you want, clearly is exactly the job of a programmer and why we aren’t going to be replaced by middle management wielding an army of AI.

The difference is code largely can’t be ambiguous where human language is subject to interpretation. So the question is what it takes to describe what is required in a way that the AI cannot misinterpret ambiguity, and so that agentic AI doesn’t have ambiguity decided confidently wrong by the orchestration layer.

This is not strictly a user problem. AI will confidently make bad assumptions about ambiguity and propagate those to sub agents and you wind up with garbage. I’m good at this — would never claim to be the best and maybe you are better, but I’m good at it — and it still causes me grief. One criticism I have of the whole endeavor is that proficiency seems stubbornly difficult to transfer.
