I don't think there will be a future where agents need to work on a limited piece of code for hours. Either they are smart enough to do it in a limited amount of time, or someone smarter needs to get involved.

I rarely review UI code. Doesn't mean that I don't need to step in from time to time, but generally, I don't care enough about the UI code to review it line-by-line.

Badly. While I wouldn't assign a task to an LLM that requires such a long running time right now (for many reasons: control, cost etc) I am fully aware that it might eventually be something I do. Especially considering how fast I went from tab completion to whole functions to having LLMs write most of the code.
My competition right now is probably the grifters and hustlers already doing this, and not the software engineers that "know better". Laughing at the inevitable security disasters and other vibe coded fiascos while back-patting each other is funny but missing the forest for the trees.
I wonder how our comments will age in a few years.

This can't be a serious project. It must be a greenfield startup that's just starting.
