Those are really bad examples to quote tho. I'm not making a change in the Linux kernel nor am I releasing it or debugging it or maintaining it or getting pinged at 1am by Pagerduty because of it. Nobody is asking me how it works or what would it mean to add feature X to it.
I think the bigger point is that you still do need to understand what is up in your codebase, relying on agents 100% of the time for absolutely everything is going to be preposterous in the long term.
