Agents that are blind to understanding the problem they created will definitely not be able to fix it. Our argument is that we can fix that blindness with better observability. For better or for worse, even if the code is messy, if an agent can see what is going on it can keep things together and get the app into working shape. 100% human written too btw...

In my experience they're never blind they can't even explain why they chose a more verbose, unreadable and error prone approach instead of a simpler one, only to candidaly admit that "you're absolutely right!". You can improve the observability how much you want, it will never prevent agents to go off the rails and destroy the database
