Opinions seem to be going out of style with LLMs.
There’s a lot of “we don’t need X anymore, agents can just do it.”
Style still matters. Approaches matter. Tradeoffs matter. Taste matters.
If you outsource your opinions to the agent, eventually you lose the mastery required to know if the agent is actually doing a good job.
My mom called me just to tell me she thinks software is more buggy than it's ever been and she is sick of it. She asked me if it was AIs fault.
