Yeah, you need to learn the jargon, and then use that to ask the agent to debug its own output. Sometimes you can get away by asking the agent to do the web searches and get it to figure out the stuff on its own. Again, it's not zero effort, but it's no longer skilled work.

The point of my comment is that it's absolutely skilled work. If someone with 15 years of experience in programming can't simply make a lateral move into a different type of programming without falling on their face, then it means there's more than just jargon. Each problem domain has its own unique nuances that humans need to tease out, and that requires domain skills.
