Why do we need your job? If you talk to AI all day already, why shouldn't we fire you and replace you with AI?

It might be 6-12 months before we have AGI but in the meantime at least we have a whole series of new anti-labor euphemisms to contend with!

It's literally one prompt away. If you're worried about errors, just threaten to sue Anthropic in the prompt and the quality of the answer instantly improves by 75%.

In my experience threatening the death penalty for the Claude board of directors improves its performance even more than threats of corporal harm or imprisonment.

Personally I'd like to see AI ceos (legally) exterminated for their traitorous crimes against American society and culture.

If you need to use an "agentic platform" I'd recommend that you get accustomed to reading and writing without one.

If you can't one-shot your problem with the free LLM that Google gives you, you're jerking yourself off.

Just write it the old fashioned way.

There are dozens of competitive models that can take over the job. It's just simply a matter of getting Claude (while it's running) to generate feature-parallel multi-agent LLM configurations which can hot-swap between LLM providers in the case that Claude has an outage.

Claude is not a simple technology. Why are you trying to stuff a 4-dimensional peg in a square hole.

> but given that you'll review something anyway,

If you aren't using AI for code review in 2026, why would you even bother? High quality, error-free, better-than-human code generation AND review is available for cheaper than ever. Why are you wasting your life reading code you didn't even write?

> Takes a little effort upfront to ensure your configuration is wired correctly for both harnesses, but it is pretty easy to get them 90% identical

You don't need to put in any effort, just get Claude (Codex CLI if Claude is down) to generate the multi-harness config for you.

You sound like you might be a beginner so let me help you out with some advice -- You can get your multi-harness configurations completely identical by simply telling Claude to research the Codex spec and eliminate all feature drift between your configs. Hope this helps.

> How much time do you lose when doing things like "verify plan with a second clean agent" instead of just reading and fixing it yourself in 5 min?

The marketing strategy for the AI firms is to get people with poor reading and writing skills socially dependent on their "tools".

The selling point is that you can delay "reading and fixing it yourself in 5 minutes" ad infinitum, consequences be damned.

What we gain from LLMs is avoiding (heaven forbid) having to read and write for another 15 minutes.
