    It makes sense to me… I use a very heavy framework that ensures my agent doesn’t lose context about the systems I develop. But that means every change goes through a big long pipeline and if all you want to do is change a few lines of code then maybe a junior dev is the right fit for that specific task?

      Agentic coding would still have the context issues of changing code whether it’s AI or a human: somebody changed something, how do you record that for the next person. You either log it in memory or point it to the git PR, either way it needs to surface the changes.

      So yeah, if AI is too expensive to code small problems for a given company than it’s too expensive for them period.
