Fable has really spooked me, honestly. It's another big jump, but not in the actual coding. I was pretty comfortable with the "you do the implementation, I do the meta work and steering", and ... no steering required, no meta work required. Here's the backlog, let me know when it's complete, I guess I'm going to go touch grass until I have to review and refine... probably tomorrow?

Reminds me of the first time I saw a coding agent stumble through an issue in 2023 maybe? and went "this is a big deal", similarly when OG gpt started making jokes that actually kinda worked.

Updated modern version of the classic "make me a greentext", apologies for slop-posting, but it seems relevant:

    > be me
    > senior software engineer
    > in charge of making sure the tickets get, in fact, implemented
    > occasionally have to open the IDE and write some code myself
    > one day i open the IDE and the ticket is already closed
    > the agent did it overnight
    > no steering, no review notes, nothing left for me to do
    > distress.jpg
    > ask my manager what to do
    > he says "just focus on the high-level architecture stuff"
    > i say "what high-level architecture stuff"
    > he says "i don't know, you're the senior engineer"
    > rage.jpg
    > quit my job
    > become a prompt engineer, nice and simple, just tell it what to build
    > first day on the job, sit down to write the prompt
    > AI already wrote it
