Saw a Linkedin post from someone saying their job is now being a (headcount-unlimited) manager of agents who program things poorly but can be reprimanded and fired easily.

They saw this as a fantastic thing. I honestly felt ill reading it, partly because previously I'd believed this person ethical. I was wrong.

"They do bad work but I can yell at them and 'fire' them easily" is a structurally unsound basis for building products, regardless of the medium used for that construction.
