A year after the 100% AI mandate nobody understands our code

Trying to code with a harry potter magic spell will have issues of alignment over time.

Software development has always evolved.

A preference for it to stay the same way isn't always in our hands.

You can have a say in how software development evolves by how you choose to learn the tools in a way that can influence other people.

But if you verify the code generated using the Harry Potter spell using spells from other wizards and possibly even a mortal human, the risk of code incantation can be mitigated.

Clearly I need to go back to the library, and by going back to the library, I mean to ask an agent to recursively ask at least 1000 other agents to do, and then responding by whispering in each others ears back to me to keep maximum accuracy.
