    > A trading floor is a bad place for unreviewed code written by people who can't read it, and the information barrier problem would be reason enough on its own. Requiring that agent-written code come from people trained to review it is a sensible rule for a regulated business.
Jokes on them: devs are also losing the capacity to read the code. Can't mix move fast, high volume with "read code".

Agentic engineering needs to be "all in".

At which point it's vibe coding, not engineering.

That's how I see it.

You have to go all in on agentic engineering. And if you're all in on agentic engineering and doing it well, then anyone should be able to build safely and no one needs to look at code. The code should look highly consistent and agents should be enforcing best practices, approved architecture, running security scanning, etc.

The gains at the middleground compromise are not really significant and, IMO, creates frustration and friction.

Works best to go all in. GS should let everyone have CC and GH and focus on making their enterprise harness safer for everyone.

LMAO. If nobody is looking at the code, how would you know, and why would you care?

And, no, it doesn't actually work. Agentic engineering is a myth by people who got high on their own farts.

Why must agentic engineering be all in?
