"How do u even know what good looks like?" This has been my qualm with Agentic coding as a junior, AI spits out something & I just review it with other 3 agents & merge it. Till last year it was thorough discussions within team on design & I used to learn a lot about stuff by just being there; now it's, "Just ask claude & see what it says." Those team discussions, design stuff & nerding out on topics has been lost, idk about others but I've experienced it. So, I'm now learning through building by hand & AI on the side to discuss, but seeing everyone building autonomously with agents also makes me feel left behind alot. The thing is idk enough about things, so I can't rely on agents to build for me & expect them to be good at what they are outputting, all I can do is review with agents & test the output. Even if i ask AI what it did, reading through it feels cheap & I forget it anyways, coz I didn't write it. Nobody wants me to learn, they want me to deliver & ship like a worker on an assembly line.
