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

This reads as a flippant and reductive comment that projects a bit (outsourcing thinking?) but actually helps surface a good rule of thumb:

If you're telling an agent how to implement something, congrats! You're doing it right and should go on a walk while it's being implemented.

If the agent is telling you how to implement something, you should probably take a walk to digest it, and come back to tell that implementation-machine what to actually do so you can take another walk while it's being implemented.

i have no idea what you are accusing me of, did you want to make it a bit clearer what i am supposedly projecting? to me, the act of doing something is outsourced to entity X, when entity X is requested to do that thing (and proceeds to do it). are you saying the only actual thinking that occurs in human structures occurs at the planning level, therefore plan execution involves no further scope for learning?
