compare this to Electronic engineering, we are not making chips by hand, It is impossible to squeeze too many transistors in such a small space, we just create the circuit designs. I believe writing the code is heading in the same direction as well, you don't write too much code now, but you have to design the architecture and connect things. But it does not mean that you don't need to understand the code, now of all the times people who understand code are more important. Many below par devs will loose jobs for sure.

for now we are not sure what is gonna happen. Big tech is surely reducing headcount to invest more in AI. but with recent downtime of github/AWS and them not blaming AI but humans, says a lot about that they will go to any extent to prove AI is bringing value enough to fire human engineers.
if we think, what is accountability? if a human would do a mistake, you would as an employer do two things: either teach him what not to do, or fire him.
Same thing can be done with AI agents, if you decide to stay with the agent then teach it what not to do, this might not work 100% but to a certain level for non critical things it would work.
Agents should ofc not be given consequential actions like deleting accounts at will.
But the point is, once a mistake is done, it is done, be it human or an agent, you gotta teach or fire something.
I don't think any other way to solve this problem
Intelligent people see and understand the world deeper, more than an average person can, They see the world in all its forms, good and bad, understanding too much does not bring happiness but gloom. existence seems to be absurd, the more we understand existence the more one believes that it shouldn't have existed at the first place.
"happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know" is a quote by Hemingway.
Also intelligent people overthink about a particular situation, while its better for survival but it can reduce happniess.
